thanks a million mr trillin

If your load is heavy, here's a load lightner, If your life needs some light, Read this gosh darn book now, and again tonight.But, of all the humble souls, you missed but one. The book I finished reading, it's closed, readings done....Mr. T. Where the hell is Henry K., but let's call him "Hank" Maybe discussing his IQ with "so new nue" Or waiting in line at the humility bank?

wonderful
