It’s two versions to the story
In mine a bone poke through chipped bars
The witch sighed, “You not growin’ very large”
“You wonder about people who made a fortune, and you always think they drank it up or stuck it up their nose. That’s not usually what brings on the decline. It’s usually the battle to keep your creative child alive while keeping your business shark alive. You have to develop cunning and shrewdness, and other things which are not well-suited to the arts.”
Joni Mitchell
