                                                     The Dead Sea Scrolls
                                            On one morn about eleven
                                            In the year '47
                                            A Bedouin boy went out to troll.
                                            When he heard the steeple bells toll
                                            He docked his boat and took a stroll
                                            That took him up upon a knoll
                                            Where he found a cave with rare bowls
                                            And the cen•tu•ries-old "Dead Sea Scrolls"
                                            Which scho•lars were to unroll
                                            To find the Bible nearly in whole
                                                                                                       Story 255
                                         All But Charcoal
                              An•thra•cite and bi•tu•mi•nous
                                     are two kinds of coals.
                              Large numbers and shal•low waters
                                     are two kinds of shoals.
                              And staying clean and being good
                                     are two kinds of im•pos•si•ble  goals.
                                                                                                              -129-
