Mistaken identities and quirky quips from a playful column
A mixed collage of jokes and verse fragment scenes begins with a headline claim and moves through a jumble of humorous lines. It includes a boy mislabeling an animal, a giraffe neck curiosity, manners about stable minds, and witty exchanges about homes and love expressed in dated light verse.
Short Turns To Squander Time
A collage of aphorisms on budgeting honesty and effort. It notes time and money waste, balance through spending less or earning more, and the value of moral courage with a spouse’s support. It ends with a quip about eavesdropping and a children’s scene in autumn.
