nas SONAH-27 I UI' , WPRITCHH ON A DIET Apologies to Edgaf Guest Pritch vows that she'll go on a diet, See chocolate cake and thinks she'll try it. Renounces angel food and pie, But sometimes takes it on the sly. At night before she goes to sleep She has to have something else to eat. Where'er her nursing duties lead her, On calories they lecture to her. The Doctor says Stop this and that For Pritch to get rid of surplus fat. It may sound very easy 'tis true. Pritch says, It's a hard thing to do. Hunger makes a person angry And makes plainest food so tasty. Everyone is tempting you- A little bit of this to chew. They do it sometimes as a jest, ' But Pritch thinks them an awful pest. Now when Pritch was told to diet, She smiled and said that she would try it. But-tempted oft, her courage failed, Up climbed the needle on the scales. For, the lure of food she couldn't refuse So what's the use of trying to lose? HO JoKEs From what does the funny bone receive nourishment? From the humorous vein, I suppose. lk ll' if When do the leaves begin to turn?

,H , , SONAH-27 A ..l- AN ODE TO WTHE TUBE Dedicated To Doctor Mateev and The Nurses. I'm having a time at that hospital Hne, Henry Ford's on Grand Boulevard West. Where they cure all your ills, and you pay all the bills But the treatment is surely the best. Where day in and day out you can hear victims shout As they swallow a thing dubbed Spaghett. It's a hose with a ball, reaching down to your gall, With a feeling you'll never forget. When you arrive there, you are placed in a chair By a nurse who is clad all in white. Down your throat she jams rubber as you start to blubber, And put up a terrible iight. As you go through the paces, you make funny faces- You choke, and you fuss, and you sputterg But you know its worth while if you're reeking with bile So not a complaint do you utter. And after a while you become reconciled, And you down it with just a slight quiver. You just take a good grip, keep a stiff upper lip While the thing wraps itself round your liver. Next they place you in bed, with your hips overfhead- Makes you feel like you've been through a blizzard. For a big stomach pump will sure make you jump, As they drain you way down to your gizzard. But you get some real fun before you are done It's the one part you'll think is just fine, When they yank the tube out, you feel like a big trout That's been hooked on the end of a line. Then when you're so weak, you can't stand on your feet just crackers and milk do they bring you. Itls a meal far from nifty, but it costs sevenffifty Another way they have to sting you. Now take my advice, for the thing isn't nice Stay away from the place and don't try it. Avoid all congestion that makes indigestion, And stick to a good wholesome diet. fd Quai 142
