While I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the photographs, other members of the Democrat staff joined in, and for an hour we had the time of our lives playing a game invented on the spot.

Good Evening.
TO AN EMPTY ROADSIDE STAND

Still sits the old stand by the road For many months drumming; No vegetables orderly in row Or nice ripe fruits assuming. Long months ago a late summer sun Shone over it at setting, Cabbages and sweet corn in a row, Who could be forgetting! What wealth of produce met the view Of motorists as they passed, Till autumn frosts and winter snows Left it an outcast and de-classed. But soon there'l be another spring Positively, even as you and With lots of asparagus, peas and beans Assuming beneath the sky.
