Story 125


              Calculating Keith












                                                            Keith


                                        Picked up his scythe by its sneath,

                                     To shear some sprigs to make a wreath,


                                        To be-gift his dying Aunt Lolith,


                                           In hopes that this slick trick,

                                        Would pull him out from beneath,


                                                        His debts

                                  And out of Edinburg's ghetto of Leith, With


                                     all her money, she would soon bequeath!

                                                        Seething


                                  If per chance a doctor were to unsheathe,


                                   A scalpel to help some little baby teethe,


                              Do you think its mother would anxiously breathe,


                                     Do you think she might angrily seethe,


                              And, in court, do you think he would worriedly grieve ?
