                                                     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.
