I want a warm and faithful friend,
To cheer the adverse hour;
Who ne'er to flatter will descend,
Nor bend the knee to power, –
A friend to chide me when I'm wrong,
My inmost soul to see;
And that my friendship prove as strong
To him as his to me.

When it rains, it pours.
It's the fragment, not the day
It's the pebble, not the stream
It's the ripple, not the sea

Not the building, but the beam
Not the garden, but the stone
Only cups of tea
And history
And someone in a tree

Under the sterile blue lights of his studio, Fallon laughs endlessly at the same pseudo-jokes, rubs elbows with Trump and Sam Altman, and ushers in the death of culture.
