BUREAUCRATIC LITANY
And it came to pass in that land which is called
Kockinlet, which is the land set over in the Kingdom of
Knik. And a city was built therein which is called Ank.
And there dwelt therein of the tribes of the Sourdough
nites, the Knikites, and other good and turbulent
tribes which had invaded the land and called it good.
And there came a time when the Ankites waxeth
arrogant; albeit conjureth up a pride and sayeth they
them: “Verily we are freeborn, yet they hold us serfs;
we hath energy and cunning, yet they chaseth us from
the hills when we chaseth the skunk; albeit the porcu
pine; we tireth of working with pick and shovel in the
vineyard of the king and pineth for our own vine and
fig tree.” Even this sayeth they.
And it came to pass that a wicked soul among them;
he which runneth the juggernaut, which scooteth
along the roads; albeit, is pulled neither by the ox nor
the ass, but createth a roar like unto the wrath of Bel
zebub and smelleth to the heaven of its breath; it stif
leth the gentle lowbush moose and scareth his mate unto
hysterics; it disturbeth the repose of the docile and af
fectionate laside Horibillis, albeit tne brown bear,
which maketh his bristles stand erect creating a jeal
ousy in the vicious porcupine. And up spake his kindred
and sayeth they: ‘‘Wot ye not there is wire in Ank.
Wot ye not there are great cats in the bush? Callest
thou the scribes and write ye a letter unto the king’s
princes, say therein wishest thou to take unto thyself
two of the cats; albeit a male and female that thou
mayest propogate furs for the king’s courtiers, aye, the
queen’s ladies in waiting.”
Whereupon he summoneth the scribes, and they did
write in the language demandeth by the kink. He asketh
therein that he be permitted to capture two cats; albeit
lynx, in the summer time, as it is written in the book.
And it came to pass that the kink’s messenger bear
eth a message. Sayeth it thus: “Wot ye not the female is
ancient at this period, and the kink liketh not that thou
capture thus. For lo, knowest we that you would have the
cat and her kittens, which denieth her husband the joy of
juggling his progeny upon his toe and singeth the while;
‘Where are my wandering jazz babies tonite?’ pulleth
its snoot and getteth his whiskers pulled in kind.
“Whereupon we warneth thee it is not meet that thou
trappeth the cat; if thou wouldst quit the juggernaut
for livestock and kine. spear thee a brace of hogs; albeit
a paii' of muskoxen the emissary of the Sourdoughites
doth promise thee 50 years hence; or mightest not thou
start with white mice?”
It is thus written in the book.

IT’S DIFFERENT NOW
It seems quite true that circumstances do alter
cases. Now take us for instance! WTe have just tasted
a mixture of hemlock, brass earrings, rubber hose, the
second Decalogue and the cashier. We are still alive and
feel little tingles along the backbone. Maybe we’ll take
another one, if alive.
What we wanted to say was that in the old days
there were different circumstances but now we get har
der cases. In those days you lifted your foot and placed
it carefully on the brass rail and looked the bartender
right in the eye and said, “Bill, gimme a drink.” Bill
never stopped to question or ask the reason why. He
simply set out the old black bottle and a chaser. You
asked him, “How’s things?” Bill would reply, “To’abel,
little creaky in the bones this morning. Have another.”
Then you had another and asked after Bill’s wife and
the latest edition from the family press and went on
about your business.
As Chick Sales might say, “Danged if it ain’t dif
ferent now.”
