it ‘premature.’ ”—Philadelphia Press.

When words you speak, those words are 
spoken, but a nose is tweaked and can’t 
be twoken, and what you seek is never 
soken. If we forget, then we’ve for¬ 
gotten, but things we wet are never wot- 
ten, and houses let cannot be lotten. The 
goods one sells are always sold, -but 
fears dispelled are not dispold, nor what 
you smell is never smoled. When young, 
a top you oft saw spun, but did you see 
a grin e’er grun or a potato neatly skun?
