Fay Says She's Fey
Fay claims to be fey and soothsay. But on the in•no•cent she'll prey.
She'll have you pick a card, say a trey, then try to guess your birthday. She
may say that your lucky month is May, that you might win a Chevrolet, or
that you'll marry a Jay or a Ray. She may even say that you had better
start to pray for soon you'll return to clay.
All for which she'll make you dearly pay.
Story 35
Neighing and Braying
Why does the horse neigh and the donkey bray ? Is it
because of the road's rugged way ? Or is it because of the
weight of their sleigh - a ton it must weigh ?
Heigh ! Could it be they eat just grass when what they
really want is hay ?
