                                                         Frisked

        Seeing him take a golden disk, the policeman had to frisk Mr. Brisque.  Isn’t


        thievery always a big risk?  Now off to jail he'll go briskly whisked, where he'll

        eat nothing but bread and bisque.

                                                       Holy Chrism

        and keeps His Church from having another schism.  It also reminds us of that


        dreadful di•lu•vi•al cat•a•clysm mentioned in the Bible and the Baltimore

        Cat•e•chism.
