You have heard the song and story
or the bride of Dublin Bay;
OF Roy Neal, the loving husband,
or the bark that first away.
But 1t found the angry waters
Pouring DER its polished sidei
And they sank to death together,
Young Roy Neal and his fair bride
Yet the storms of life o'ertake rs,
Yet the pillows angry foam;
Still we venture on the journey,
Trusting that the best will come.
To the ne1t who read this puzzle
We can wish fairer tide
Than the one that brought destruction
To Roy Neal and his fair bride.

The Lament of the BaciIIi

For ages we lived. and on mankind We preyed
With none to molest US or make us afraid;
In decillions we throvs and quintiIlions vers
born,
To render our enemy, man, more forlorn,
Though Lilliputs we, yet our forces united
At last have our Brobdignag foemen affrighbed
And with lymph they assan US. till now, like
poor Lo,
Or Chinese cheap labor, we're fated to 'go.D
So, trim little headstones we last week bespoke.
And we yield up our spirits to Pasteur and
Kochi
