Story 143

The Busy Nurse

There once was a busy nurse. With every patient, she would patiently

converse. Her remarks were always terse, though pleasing and often in

verse. There was nothing to which she was averse, to help make a

patient's condition reverse.

But now and again a patient would turn for the worse. Then first she
would call the patient's family citing the curse, and next the morgue

requesting its hearse.

Story 144

Boys Stay Alert
!
!
Little boys should stay alert, on guard against little girls who like to

flirt, especially those that are saucy and pert.

At first, they may say you are sweeter than dessert, or that they

like your spiffy shirt. But when they get angry, you will get hurt. In a
spurt of temper, they will blurt out something curt. They might even

say you are a little squirt, and reason it is your just desert.

Then come the following week, they are likely to do it again, this time

to a Kurt, a Harry, or a Burt.
