The Red Well-Read Reader

Story 169

No Script!

The actress quipped

I will be laid in a tomb or crypt,

As dead as the pharaohs of Egypt,

Before I read lines of any script.

My public has never been gypped

Because my style has never been clipped,

So now as before my public will hear
Only adlibbed words that I have lipped.

Story 170
The Swiss Miss

Oh the land of Swiss is a land of bliss. You ask, why is

this? It's because every miss always looks so prim and

priss.

And although little boys may hiss, none can resist the

maidens’ sweet, sweet kiss.

Story 171
A Tasty Dish

Oh how I wish

That I could catch the fish

That makes the water swish

For it would make such a tasty, tasty dish
