the skinny voice
of the leatherfaced
woman with the crimson
nose and coquettishly-
cocked bonnet
having ceased the
captain
announces that as three
dimes seven nickels and ten
pennies have been deposited upon
the drum _ there is need
of just twenty five cents
dear friends
to make it an even
dollar whereupon
the Divine Average who was
attracted by the inspired
sister’s howling moves
off
will anyone tell him why he should
blow two bits for the coming of Christ Jesus
?
