"- - - - NOT EVEN A MOUSE"

*- Tibby Payton '61

     Who is mice? They is little rats, but they ain't named the same. They is all named Elmynekdombshreder, but they is named Buddy for short. They live in desks in study hall, and they crawl around over peoples' books. They eat beans, squash, tomatoes, onions, and crocodiles. Do you know what crocodiles is? They is pocketbooks. They is red, blue, yeller, fuchsia, chartreuse, and canary. I know a boy that looks like a canary. If'en he looked like a horse, his name would be John. John Law is a good name. He is a horse. John Law is his name. I know him. He is blue and blows a whistle. Do you have a whistle? I do. It is made out of a egg shell. It plays Mary's Little Lamb. I had a lamb once. Its name was Perciva. Perciva Lamb was its name. It lived in my mail box. It said "baa" to the postman every day. My mailman is a purty nice feller. He drives a green car. It is made out of crocodiles. What is yore mamma's name? I know. It's Hot Tommooolly, ain't it? I have a pet mouse. He lives in a paper poke and plays paper dolls all day. He has a toy he plays with. It is a turtle. His name is Danny. Danny Turtle is his name. His grandfather was a man what looked like him. He was a horse.
     Mice is good things to have around--ain't they?
