A Liberal Democrat and a wand'ring minstrel, I


When our brother paid a visit
during Friday Night Live
last week,
he, a Conservative,
made humorous mention
of the Red Ryder BB gun
resting on the center front window sill.
He was wondering if I was planning
to pick off
any Waukeshans
not of my political persuasion.


Re: air, below follows
the recently arrived
weekly column by
James Wigderson:

Wiggy, in our
far out-weighed opinion
here in this Waukesha hot-bed
of rigid conservatism,
now and then
gets things right,
but this time he is
way off.
(Underlined, upper-caps)
Read it and form your
own opinion.

This is what Wisconsinites
may look forward to
in the temporary age of
Walker & Co.



Yes,



We are liberals here,
so when the recent PENZEY'S
spice magazine arrived,
we zeroed in on this delicious
cowboy bean-stew recipe.
We do liberally douse our
food with Penzey's
fresh seasonings.
This tack seems to go well
with Widgerson's tacky beans....

Penzey currently offers
a coupon for a free half-cup of
spice they call
'F-O-R-W-A-R-D.'

Owls, cats, pigs



From today's Waukesha Freeman
historian John Schoenknecht disserts
and reminds us of

I

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

II

Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

III

'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
