                                                     A Peculiar Kid
               Sid was a pe•cu•liar       kid. Although toothless, he chewed a tobacco quid.
               Although generally skinny, he had a fat mid.
               He   often    hid  from    school   to  go   to  the   track   to  wager    a  "small   bid."
               Con•se•quent•ly his grades slid, as he took a fi•nan•cial skid.
               Yes, this is what the silly six-year old did!

                                               The Bothersome Midge
                   Bob, Ted, Carol, and Sue - hiking on a mountain ridge – stopped at
                   a spot overlooking a       bridge.
                   They planned to eat spinach, porridge, and cabbage; then to play
                   cribbage  and  bridge. But  before  they  could  eat  a  smidge,  they
                   were chased off by a pestering, biting             midge.
                                                                                                               -79-
