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
Blood of Every Type

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?
