There is passing around a budget of news,

A friend of the parties the gossip supplies,
She gives us some hints, the rest We surmise'

Marine and murine seems IN be,

A dorsibran chiate anneid;
% please don't let II fallD
Behold its head, and scan It's foot;
Just see! they are the same;
Remove It's head-yes, there's mouse!
RUM fly! I'll do the same!
For tbs bona ffe mouse,
Not an annelid marine;
Its like in almost any house
At some time may he Ecen;
But when brave women chance to trhok,
There Is great 10 do.
Decapitate; o use your wits;
i hen let me hear from you.
HAPPY THoveHr.
