Dear Editor: While coming over to America on a steamer, the mate rushed up to me and threatened to blow up the ship if I didn’t give him a kiss.

What did I do?

Lives of ’skeeters all remind us,

While short skirts are all the go,

That to them existence must be

Just one great big burlesque show!

Yes, Gus, ’tis sad but only too true that in Georgia the peaches grow on the limbs while at the beaches—but why break the monotony?
