    Just say, C h e e s e
    - to study diseases go live in the swamp -


    Once upon a time, so the story goes
    on a dark and stormy night
    our ragged-trousered Ruckman was set on course for a fight


    snag was the wind blew out the lantern
    down the long and lonely street, whereupon
    our poor fellow and a young lady he intended to meet


    strayed from the tame and well-rounded
    typical liaison and flawed detective plot
    for dignity, a steady job, and appeals for Human Rights



    - shelter and shield story -
    P I L G R I M S  P R O G R E S S

    taxes for the apparatchik
    cut
    provisions for the peasantry
