Dana Jeanettn,
Without any fret,
Will itiake the Dean’s List,
We are willing to bet.
This bright little elf
Can, all by herself
Do a sum in her head
That I can’t do myself.
And just how she figgers,
Nobody knows,
’Cause we don’t think she counts
On her fingers or toes.
Can she paint a fine picture?
Oi- sew a fine seam?
Or make a eet pie
Out of sugar and cream?
Can she write you a letter?
Or read a whole book?
The answer is: Better
Than you can. Just look;
So ride a black horse
To Banbury Cross
To see the fine lady go by,
With rings on her fingers,
And bells on her toes.
She’ll make the Dean’s List
Where ever she goes.

Bert Childers put an ad in the
Clarion the other day. Here’s what
it said: < a .
“Planted more melons than I
can eat this year. Step by and pick
as many as you want. All free.”
As you'can guess, plenty of folks
sent their kids over and plenty of
the parents came too. Stripped
Bert’s melon patch in no time. And
as they went away, Bert treated
the kids to lemonade, and offered
the grownups a glass of ice-cold
sparkling beer. >

From where I sit... Sy. Joe ■Marsh',

' and the Melon Patch 1
Naturally it puzzled some folks
... but Bert explains: “It gives me
a kick to share things when I can
afford to—whether it’s the melons,
or the lemonade, or beer. I guess I
just like to indulge my whims.”
From where I sit, if we had more
“self-indulgent” people like Bert
—who believe in share and share
alike, live and let live, this tired
world would be a whole lot better
