last year. And then birthdays seem 70 come
every few minutes and Christmas rolls around
before yOu can get even for last year pres
ents: and then your wedding-day anniversary
keeps coming and goes from wood to gold. and
gets more expensive every time u comes until
a man wonders why on earth time cannot 90
on IN straight line without circlng around
and bringing up these reminders.
