He is so small,
A rat coule eat him,
Hat and all.

Letters — Anonymous
Lives of great men all remind us
As their pages over we turn,
That we are apt to leave behind us
Letters that we ought to burn.
信 — 佚名
我們翻閱偉人的生平
它提醒我們：
我們太艾在申喉留下
本應該燒掉的信。

Power to the People — Howard Nemerov
Why are the stamps adornde with kings and presidents?
That we may lick their hinder parts and thump their heads.給人民權篱 — 霍華德尼莫羅夫為什麼郵票上印著總統與王侯？

A Christian — Thomas Russell Ybarra

Repentance on a Sunday
For what he did on Saturday
And is going to do on Monday.
基督徒 — 托馬斯拉塞爾 伊巴拉
基督徒是這樣一種人

禮拜六的罪行
和禮拜一將要做的事情
