By PVT. CARL CARSON

By PVT. CA Carl Carson is hurt. Carson is touched to the quick, men. It seems pseudo-scrivener yclept Koerber has cast aspersions on our literary ability "This upstart Carson is all right for excavating subterranean squibs, but is he man of letters ?" quipped this self-appointed custo- dian of the quill. If 1t is rhetorical redundancy to the utmost in hyperbole that the lads want, Carson is their man, having more letters than the Chi nese alphabet. If he should choose" to hide his innate profundity. through sheer humility of spirit, let not false prophets arise and point the finger willy-nilly. Carl had stripes before that Letter came. (Ed. Note: And where ? Girding up his literary Joins, Car son casts the following pearls: AS our good friend Kipling penned,

 If I should die tonight, And you should come in deepest
 grief and woe
 And say:-"Carl, here's that
 deuce I owe,"
 Most certainly I should arise,
 put on my hat,
 And say: "What was that? ?" A Sad Sack Lament:
 As I walk about on earth A goodly number of souls see But I never speaks to them And they never speaks to me. A CT Tells:
 Mary spoke to me of love,
 and oh was very gay! She danced about and sang a
 song that took my breath
 away.
 Twenty Years From Now (Oh Yeah?)
 Backward, turn backward, o
 Time, in thy flight! Make me a CT again, just for
 tonight. Whooo does this remind you of? This bird is very, very wise You see his wisdom in his eyes. He sleeps all day
 He hunts all night
