UPTIGHT

Let bells ring and ringos chime
I've a Woodrow Wilson
a crewcut mind

eleven ring notebook paper (lined)
a dime dim

       off campus pad
dull dim

       off-color mad
prim

       softcolored velure sandwich

... so let's be mature:

We'll wear Lincoln's beard and Napoleon's  bangs
Hamlet's tights and concave dangs
Whitman's shirt and Buddha's grin
Jeanne d'Arc's hair and a Hapsburg chin

BUT
can you actually give
reall y, 1 mean
the four (although obvious)
causes of the xylem and the phloem?

Fine, he chorkled, Fine.
N ow brush your ears
and. press your teeth
and all together, one more time:

"Loose gowns hide taut daks;
Lady Clairol and GRE's are facts."
Let's face it, jack; you're mature.
