love money so much that every time
they bet a blue check they close their
eyes and pretend it was a white one.
Any time you see a silver dollar
with all the tail feathers pulled out
of the eagle it's a cinch the bird once
belonged to Mrs. LorrenZ and the part
ing was bitter one.
She is the original Tessie Tight
wad.
Ever thine,
J. H.
