Name that poem

OK, I've got this half a line of poetry rattling around in my head and I can not think of where I read it. Help me identify it, please. "It is the meanest working, making one dollar do the work of five." Or something like that.

I'd like to use it in this paper I'm writing, but a Google search on those terms came up with nothing. I'm thinking it is Elliot, but what do I know?

Monkey is Watching You

Jule found this cat-cam site and now she and Natalie are determined to have a cat-cam for spying on Aethel. Or, as Jule called it, "Aethelcat-monkey-is-watching-you-cam." So we'll have photographic evidence of Aethel's badness.

Not my toe!

Suddenly my irrational fear of my feet being caught in an escalator does not seem so crazy.

I'm never wearing my Crocs again.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks

Andy is downstairs right now watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks, questioning me about it's influence on the Harry Potter universe.

First, I said, "You're awfully fixated on a book you've never read. And she's obviously a squib who learned magic late in life. Duh."

Week Two

So, here I am at the end of my second week of school and I just got back my first assignment. I saw the email from the professor but was a little frightened to open it. I was afraid the comments would say my analysis of the texts was amateur or something equally horrific.

The professor said it was "very good" and wanted to share my opinions with the class if there was time. Hooray! I don't suck!

As it turned out last night, she didn't read part of paper to the class but I'm really happy knowing she earmarked it as being good enough to share with the class.
