Story 139

The Earl and Cheryl

Merl was a well-mannered English earl.

One morning as he drew his drapes into furls, he

saw through his window the most beautiful girl,

with golden cascading curls. At once his head

started to whirl, as he saw buttercups,

goldenrods, and marigolds, all in a swirling whorl.

Right then he knew he would give the single life a

hurl, and marry the lovely Cheryl.

And when she said yes, the thankful earl, kissed

the sweet girl, and promised her the world!

berm, looking for the worm. Unfortunately for the worm, no matter

how desperately it may squirm, it cannot escape the beak in which it is

held so firm. This is why the life of the worm, is but a short, short

term.
