Story 117
Our College Dean
Miss Green, our student dean, possessed a foreboding
mien, like that of a combat marine.
She wouldn’t allow us to wear blue jeans nor to read any
magazines. Of course, there was not a canteen! She
even prohibited tea and coke, citing caffeine. Five days
a week she had the cafeteria serve us baked beans and
collard greens.
She claimed she wanted us lean; however, she succeeded
only in being awfully mean.
Story 118
The Queen
Queen Josephine, only nineteen, is by far the most beautiful woman
her kingdom has ever seen.
She is always serene, with the most pleasing mien. She never vents her
spleen, nor acts the slightest bit mean. She is tall and lean. Her eyes
are emerald green. Her face is cover-girl clean. And her hair shines
with lustrous sheen.
Her sense of dress is so keen that nearly an hour it takes her to preen.
But she always makes the most delightful scene, especially with King
Constantine.
