judgment ,Day And God said, What ails this planet? Holding it lightly between thumb and forejinger. CWhereat the heavens were split with lightning, Vesuvius groaned, and the skies darkened.J His nostrils wrinkled faintly at the taint Of gangrene. What is the matter with it?', And they answered, Lord, we know not. It was clean until two million years ago, When it became infected with curious vermin Who walk erect, and emerge unharmed From all our cleansing pestilencesf, Singular,,' said God, squeezing thoughtfully. lWhereat the skies screamed with awful winds The ground heaved and the seas surgedj 'iGive me the symptoms in order. And they said, Lord, an intermitting cancer Comes and covers the world like a foul shadow.

.Yin gram the flains By M. I'm from the plains. With nothing in the way at all, but just some clumps of trees. I like a country where there is room to see and see . . . I like the sunsets weaving in the ecstasy Of living colors all across the sky. And I like the winds That ripple across the wheat, trailing long gray skirts Gently over the goldenness, and run long slim fingers through my hair. Yes, I'm from the plains . . . but I like the mountains, too. There is a brooding, strong defiance in the mountains, And the trees are tall. Water rushes, and the wind Roars deepeningly from one lake-filled valley to another Tossing trees and moaning through the fir tree needles. I like to stand on some great rock . . . look down, and see The world lying at my feet . . . lakes, trees and valleys Trembling in the light. Snow looks hauntingly lovely, too, under mountain sunset glows, A cap of molten glory for an age-old hill . . , yes, I like the moutains, But I'm from the plains . . . The Sewing, Rounding, Backing and Casing In . . . is a product COMPLIMENTS OF of our bindery.
