[stylist] humor assignment

[Jacqueline Williams]

Barbara,
This really tickled my funny bone. Four times over and I was still laughing.
You could call it a first grade Primer. I love the baby cannibal, the rhymes
that would help children learn, repetition, and it is one of these rarities
that is so ridiculous  that it cannot miss.
Incidentally, you are in good company to number your poems. Emily Dickenson
did that with all of her poems instead of titles. It is a good way to keep
track. I wish I had done so.
I have a similar poem, and I will try to find it and send it to you. I did
call mine, "First Grade Primer."
Jackie

This is an old poem.  In case you're wondering what the number at the top of
all my poems means, I number each one when I write it.  So my next poem I
write will be 915.  I've written a few cards in there that aren't included.
