We Clipped This

(From Fayetteville Press.)

Shore is tough these days, to try to tell a girl a good joke and have her say: “Never mind, I read Whiz Bang myself.”

* * *

It wasn’t the drink that killed poor John,

Nor a sight that took his breath,

But he read a Whiz Bang, so ’tis said,

And laughed himself to death.
