Story 199

Develop Your Mind

Jahrell and Jerome are two of a kind. Neither pays his
teacher any mind. They say that school's a grind, and that
homework is so unkind. Con•se•quent •ly, they are both far
behind.

Someday, however, they won't be so blind. They shall
un•doubt•ed•ly find that the world's unkind to the
ig•no•rant mind.

Story 200

Especially for boys not fully ripe
They are the boys for•bid•den to gripe
They are the boys guer•ril•las will snipe
Will mothers ever have fewer tears to wipe ?
