But suppose it does,
WILL WE TAKE IT?
Will we be willing
To forget
Our old sorrows

Our 10-year-old

I wonder.
It's a cinch
If we don't

And this New Year
Will be a flop
Like all the others
Twelve months from now
Well still be
AS badly off
AS we are today
Nothing gained,
Nothing achieved
Whereupon
Well yell

And blame everybody,
Including God
And the Democratic Party
For our raw deall

We can't haze our cake

We went from Durango. my birth

about 5 years old, and there I was
placed in st. Joseph's convent.
I was no better. no worse than
the other girls. A bit more adven-

do one thing I really loved. They
let me dance.
The only punishment I ever re-
ceived was for hiding a mirror and
curling my hair. Mirrors were for

So hid one. and was caught. The
sisters warned me.
I curled my hair and the great
humiliation came when I was

patio of the convent and my curled
head Soundly and thoroughly
ducked into the water of the little
lily pond.
1t did me no good. I have al
