The Dey of the Deadline Cwith apologies to Clement Clark Moorej Twas the day of the deadllne and all through the Challenger Eferythlng was a hustle, a pustle. alnve. Layouts were strewn across the roorn wlthout care, ln hopes that Perry 9 would not soon pe there. The edltor was worklng at a fevorlsh pace, And had the olack frorn her pencll all over her face! The edltor and I, luke anlrnals trapped IO a cage, I-lad lust settled down to proofread each and every page. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter.

But Perry just laughed and went about his work. l-le checked all our pages and then said with a srnirk, You're fifteen pages short, l'r'n sorry to say. So get busy and finish. We haven't got all day! In panic We shouted, What happened? But how? We counted five tirnes. We should have rnet it by now! In silence and despair we went back to work And struggled and slaved, beneath l3erry's srnirk. But finally it was done. All the pages complete. Worn out, but glad, we all sighed, Success is sweet. Perry gathered his things and strode out the door, As exhausted, we all collapsed on the floor! Once again we had done it. The deadline was rnet. But sadly We rernernbered, there's one rnore yet! But we heard Perry call as he drove out of sight, lt'll be a good book. .Just see if l'n-1 right.
