Lucy Parish, who excelled as a seamstress and cook, Looks forward to the release of each new book. AS AN AUTHOR AND WRITER SHE S GONE QUITE A WAY, And with all of her money she'll retire some day To A FARM IN THE COUNTRY WHERE SHE'LL FIND HER REST} There she ll do what she loves to do best. Not far down the road in a ranch house so great We find Kenny Cunningham following his trait At farming and feeding he has made a success--At love making and wooing? What is your guess? George Watkins and Newman have taken to the air; They take people up for only what’s FARE. As partners, they split up their earnings and then — Spend it on the girls and start over again. The dainty young lass that we called Stiles Has lately been travelling over thousands of miles. She married a man who soon died, they say. And she can't spend all his money, try as she may. Little Alice remains so sweet and demure As A LAB TECHNICIAN SHE'S FOUND MANY A CURE} But as yet her theories have not suggested Why her date book is always so congested. Baker and Robbins, by this time can’t think. We know some of these verses postively stink. But we hope you'll enjoy every rhyme As you read them over from time to time. Bill Baker Betty Robbins • 44
