"Men seldom make passes
At girls who wear glasses."
Can those who have furnished the additional lines to the poem in this
forum tell me where they came from?
M:
Do you mean the addition:
"So Dorothy Parker has said.
She said it so rightly,
They're very unsightly,
But no one wears glasses in bed."
If so, it came out in a 50s issue of Playboy, I think. As a glasses-wearing
college student at the time, I certainly heard it enough.
