Ripping Rhymes
THE QUIET VILLAGE
BY Walt Mason

In Pruneville, when the clocks strike
mine, the lights go out along the line,
the streets are dark and bare; and
moral citizens, at that, wind up the
clock, turn out the cat, and to the hay
repair. At times the citizens will go
to see a helpful movie show that some
great truth expounds, or when a lee
turer arrives to brighten up their quiet
lives with hoarsc but earnest sounds
But breaks like these are far between;
the voters are but seldom seen away
from home at night; no lights are
shining in their homes, but harmless
dreams pervade their domes, where
they are sleeping tight. If you remark
