THIS is THE MONTH when the girls
say, "Oh Tom, come and go with us for
'Au'tOm' leaves" and he goeth "aS an
OK goeth to the slaughter" and climbs
down dOgwoods and up naples and she'll
barks, until the southwestern portion of
his pantaloOns looks like an elm post
struck by lightning. Then they coax
him home, and put the leaves to press,
and get him to sit on the board, and for
get to feed him, and he starves to death
and dies. And the girls don't care-so
they bury him in the ash-pile, and put
the leaves over the looking-glass. Sc
lah.
