The Morgue We CRita and Annel are the watchmen of the Morgue. Sometimes, when the nights are long and lonely, we leaf through the pages of our diary, reading many strange tales. The strangest of these occurred one dark and dreary May night and we have set it down as follows: Tonight a very sad looking Stiff fl mean Bodyl was brought in - bear- ingqno identification, except a driver's license, No. l-9-5-1, and the common name, 'ilanuarious Jones. An examination revealed that it had been brutally beaten over the head with a diploma - death being instantaneous. In the course of an autopsy a horrifying discovery was made - the Body contained no Heart. Somehow, the Heart CPeggyJ had disappeared. At the discovery of her absence, the Body literally fell to pieces. The Hands fDoloresJ waved frantically in the air. The throat CDonJ stretched and gulped. The Eyes CNellD rolled up and down the corridors looking high and low. The dainty Ears fDeanJ pricked attentively for the sound of the Heart's beat, pouting lips fDonna and Richardj bit each other nervously. Roaming Nose CHowardJ poked into every corner in its frantic search, while ticklish Chin CDonna SJ became hysterical. Tiny Feet fRuth and Connieb pattered up and down the halls running in circles. Finally the Brain QGlenJ cried out, Stop all this nonsense! I know where the Heart is! ! ! So I, the watchman, picked up the Brain and put him into the saucer Qto catch my passing thoughtb while he calmly related these words. Wagging Tongue fSondraJ has told me the whole story. The Heart has been stolen by Brute Strength CMax and Paulj. Finally, with the aid of Mischevious Ideas CCarolej, he has taken her away. We must rescue her at once. At the thought of poor Heart's plight, the Hair fMaxinej popped up on end, Knees fGeraldJ knocked about violently, the Right and Left Shoulders QLucile and Bobl shrugged disapprovingly. Dimples QMartha and Juniorl caved ing Teeth fRobertJ chattered with fear, the Big Toe CAlfredJ stubbed itself against Sincere Smile CVonnieJ who grinned at her, singing in unison, I have But One Heart , and led by Backbone Uanetj they marched to the slab where the Heart was imprisoned. Legs fPat and Susanj strolled about trying to lure Strength from his post. Golden Tresses fDelphene and Phyl- lisj rippled enticingly, leading him on. Devilish Wink fDickJ taunted him. Hips CLouise and Kathrynl swayed, Southern Drawl CMaryJ murmured softly. Complexion QGlennaJ teased him until at last Strength, left Heart unguarded and followed the others. Quickly the Muscle fBill and Jimj leaped upon Strength while Energy also fought him valiantly. Nerve fMary Louisej pinned Strength down while Elbow Grease CRayJ tied him with a roll of gauze, and Heighth fGuyl stood by threatingly. Giggles fMarilynJ laughed out, He looks so silly! What else can we do to him? Forehead fJohnJ and Eyebrows CSaraJ wrinkled their brow. Spare Ribs CLaverne and Emersonj suggested, Let's make him cook us a meal! Heavens no! declared Appetite CBlaineJ and Adam's Apple fGordonJ. We would be punished. Poise fBob MJ suggested that the punishment be more subtle, yet sufficient. Funny Bone Ueanj nearly broke as she offered, How about making him do fifteen minutes of typing with no eraser in sight? No, anything but that, cried the terrified Strength as the Spirit wafted him away. Rosy Cheeks QJ on and Lloydj asked But where has the Heart gone? Wagging Tongue replied, While we were all busy defeating Strength, the Voice Uerryl freed the Heart by untying her bonds. She looked so tired that he sang to her. That did it. He has stolen the heart of the Heart fBob BJ away, and she never wants to go any place without him. The Wish Bone fSherrelD rubbed himself and wished the Body were alive. Instantly the pieces reassembling the Body walked out of the Morgue. We never did find out what bcame of it, but we imagine it is happy now and we can picture the Voice and the Heart living happily ever after and raising little vocal chords. THE END
