Beatnik episode poem - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In the beatnik episode (#13, I think), Richie and Potsie go to a cafe and hear someone reciting beat poetry. It was something like "Hey little boy with your nose pressed up against the window. We have no [something or other] for you today." Then there were variations on that. Does anyone know what was recited? Thanks!

It was (I'm Coping and pasting what you wrote

) "Hey little boy with your nose pressed up against the window. We have no [something or other] for you today. Only Death"

I Think that's what she said, she said one about a bird too...

Valerie Curtin, a very funny lady, played the beatnik poetess in that episode. She was in the TV version of "9 to 5" and has written some movies (as well as for "Mary Tyler Moore"). She also was in the original "Three's Company" pilot. She's one of those people who is very talented and should have become a bigger name, but was never in the right place at the right time.

That episode is called Great Expectations and I went to look for the tape in my collection and when I popped it in it was a different episode. Come to find out there are two episodes with that title. The other one is Roger seeking advice from Fonzie about his love life. I never taped the beatnik one. Dang!
