This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I submit, for your consideration, 'I will always love you' by Dolly Parton, as one example; the many works of Emily Dickinson; and probably a non-zero number of works attributed to men (Such as the Brönte Sisters) since women have not been socially allowed to benefit from the arts until reletively recently.

Edit: see below comment, updated with Dolly.

At Last was written by two men and originally performed by a man.

You got me. Fortunately, I don't need to look very hard to find a replacement.
