Story 155

Gigged

So prim and proper was Miss Kreig that some said she was a

stuffy prig. But then there came a Russian shindig whereat

she drank vodka swig after swig. And on her knees she danced

a jig, stuffing her face with dates and a fig.

As if this weren't enough, she called the Czar a "Fascist pig," struck him with an

olive twig, then dared to pull off the Czarina's horsehair wig. For this Miss Kreig

was given “life” in a Russian brig.

Story 156
Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fish for

brill in a swilling rill.

However, they caught nil.

And when they came down, they came down

with a chill and began to feel ill. So then
their mother served them soup with dill

and gave them each a get- well pill.
