Story 96
A Financial Mess
"Yes, ma'am, I confess, Bess and I gambled playing chess. It was
fun, more or less.
"We were playing like money was hot off the press ! Though truly,
it was utterly fortuneless. Bess, she was merciless. She left me not
only penniless but clothes-less, for she took all my money and my
brand-new dress."
Story 97
Thresh These Over
There is –
The human flesh,
The fruity flesh,
The thrashing thresh,
The splashing thresh,
The grating mesh,
The fencing mesh,
The dewy fresh,
The tasty fresh,
The naughty fresh,
And the earthy creche.
