On the Spur
of the Moment
BY ROY K. MOULTON

Oh, Grief; Oh, Sadness.
I used to be a hero;
They pinned their junk on me:
My breast adorned with medals
Was glorious to see.
They thought that it was winter
Whene'er 1 walked around,
My medals ratified gaily;
Like sleighbells did they sound.
I was the only pebble
Upon the sandy beach,
And 1 was the headliner,
A yell, a scream, a screech.
I used to be a hero,
Twas pleasant, I'll allow,
But the sheriff took my auto;
I'm down and outer now.

OF course Jack watched her every
move He saw her drop a piece of
paraffin in the pan, light the candle
and hold the pan over the flame Then
when the paraffin was softened (but
not melted), she rolled it into little
balls which she put on the toothpicks
TO make tiny men, A round head a
fat body, two mittened hands and a
pair of feet-that was all.
OF course Jack was interested at
once. He made funny faces on the
round heads and helped make some
men of his own. Try it some day and
