Re: [at-l] Hey, Rymin'Worm! Here's another...!

["Cora Drake" <cora_drake@hotmail.com>]

In tryin' to rely on my in with the lout,
I ast him but blast him, he said "I ran out."

You'd think he'da taken my money or, gee,
at least my address for a sale C.O.D.

He's just lost his chance, 'til I finish my hike
(tho I might ship one off to my trail mentor Mike)

If I don't get one soon, tho -- hey Santa, I'm hinting!
-- I may have to wait 'til the thing's second printing!

-- Jane, just playin at rhymin for the Worm
