Our modern realistic novelists

The boot owl is a mournful bird
And wierd to hear at night,
He perches on the tree limb
And awakens you. in fright
But he is like a lot of men
For all his CHASTITY cries
His voice is all he has
And he is only pocket size.

The wholesale optical association

The prospect OF having turkey
