THE LETTER
When sweethesrts wrote in olden day
All coy their goosequills tripped.
And penned the words that they might say
In fine italian script.
So ladylike each proper 6ignl
Bold characters ana scrawly line

She uses dips of ink galore
Her 'rb's'' reach up. her "g's" reach down.

And dashes then to three;
And back TO two, and next to four
And pondring Ger the plan thereof
