Episodes in Form Lab.

A mother paused in a journey thru
The Annex of special fame,
And saw that one weird creature
there
Bore her only daughters name.
The mother frowned and then she
laughed.
The laughter shook her frame;
"If this be you, jeanette, my dear
TIL never feel the same"
"All stiff and stark and cold they
are,
And smelling of varnish and glue,
Never will believe" said dad,
'That one of them can be YOU.
A student paused in the hall out
side,
To see what he could see.
Then fled in haste to the outside
door,
Where he whooped aloud in glee.
"She's warped in places and bump
in spots
She's hollow as hollow can be,
But I'll tell the world, she's my
own best girl,
And she's Venus de Milo to me.
