THE
VERY IDEA!
BY Hal Cochran
THAT'S DIFFERENT

They sat out in the moonlight, and
their hearts were beating fast. No
doubt. they both were wond ring
just how long twas gonna last. Now
quiet ruled supremacy, you could tell
they were afraid, and each one
shushed the other when the slightest
sound was made.
The neighbors. in the house next
door were at window pane, a
lookin' and a lookin', but their looks
were quite in vain. The fright Of
both the lovers you can surely un.
derstand when you know one Of the
neighbors had a shotgun in his hand
II guess we'd better beat it,
came whisper in a breath. The
other didn't answer. He was almost
scared ia death. Another hour they
waited. Every minute was intense
And then they made sudden DASH
and cleared the backyard fence.
Another romance blasted meath
the moon that shines above. Twas
Just because the lover sat and
howled their bloomin love. The
whole world loves a lover is a true
thought, now and then. But when
they're only alley cats--it's some
thing else again.
The first year of his marriage
1ella calls his mother-in.law say"
and after that, grandma.
Mother told Johnny that he must
keep his eyes closed during prayer
and Johnny wanted to know how she
knew he didn't.
Even skeleton key won't pick
lock on a bald head.
Two burglars came. The clock struck
one.
Said he, THAT sure is luck"
And then the other feIla asked
Which one the dern thing struck.
Mother-What makes your shoes
always look so untidy?
Sonny-Just a slip of tongue
