That when they came back. twas against

And I've heard people say that they lived

kiss and hug.
And still love each other. I'm sure.

A UNIQUE Poem by Unique and indie
pendent Poet From West
Virginia.

Mr.. John Deuraelnee is a West Virginia
poet. lie does not call himself a poet
but he is and the proof lies in the lines
which tell here OF the courtship, mar
riage and subsequent life Of the sun and
the moon.
He does not claim any merit for the
poem, but thinks it may please the chill
dren. and il will. and grown folks, 100,
If they appreciate a well-turned point OF
humor and play on words.
Mr.. Deuraelnee is an Independent poet,
a characteristic not strong in many poets.
He says he will not think hard Of 1t II we
do not publish his poem, or If we do he
will feel no gratitude to US, for II VIII be
to our advantage 20 publish 1t, II It's
worth IL, and TO our disadvantage If 1t Is
not.
We feel that We cannot afford TO deny
our readers the pleasure Of this poem.
