About 1960 I lived in a rooming house with a common kitchen, and used to keep a flask of orange juice in the refrigerater, which was frequently robbed. I put it in a paper bag to lessen the temptation, but to no avail. At length, I composed the following and attached in to the flask, inside the bag, so that no honest person would see it:
THIEVES BEWARE! A CURSE
Hex'd is this flask of orange juice. Cursed by thou who stealest from it! Forthwith upon the floor of Hell Mayst thou its contents blood-streak'd vomit And live amidst its steam & smell While round thee white-hot virgins plummet And egg thee on to self-abuse In saecula saeculorum, Amen!
