soul and opens the pocketbook at
the same time.
Here is the latest tax statement

“The frost is o nthe pumpkin.
And the fodder’s in the shock.
These brisk November days are
great
For sleepin’—Darn that clock!
But tempus fugits, constantly,
Now please don’t be too lax.
Pay taxes ’ere the first of Jan.
Take ’em off your income tax.”
