and little sandwiches made out of bacon,
lettuce, tomato and raisins
C
G
with the crusts cut off
and huge jars full of mayonnaise
and tootsie rolls on and on they went, ate
and drank and were merry
a fat pink cloud hung overhead
and everyone was
extremely happy

college
or learned a craft or anything to do
