While Leap year day is past.
it's still leap year until old
father 1852 bows out, and / read
a cute one by Samuel Hoffen-
stein I Just couldn't wait to pass
along. He calls it "A Little Not
Much) About the Ladies'" 1t
goes like this:
Women have three years to
hope in;
The fourth, they leap into the
open.
And hence, by masculine ac-
claim,
Leap year gets its name and
fame,
Although, with subtle skill in
mating,
They pull some fast ones, too,
while waiting"
