A Special Treat

For ac•com•plish•ing your ac•a•dem•ic feat
You have won yourself a special treat.
Would you like a drink to beat the heat?
Perhaps a tasty cut of meat?
If there’s nothing you want to eat,
How about a Yankees’ grandstand seat?
Wouldn’t that be super neat?
I repeat – wouldn’t that be super neat?

Story 124

A Proper Greeting

Regardless whether it’s raining a sheet of sleet
Or for some other reason you’d like to be fleet
Whenever you meetfriend of stranger on the street,
Be as sweet as a sugar beet
Greet him with words upbeat
And smile, be it Pete or Marguerite.
