Revenge Poem

Maybe I wrote this before: but my brother

and his buddies played an old trick on the

official who fired all the women administrators

after World War II: they put a juicy cow pie

in a paper bag, put it on the official's porch,

set the bag on fire, rang the doorbell, then

skedaddled. The official rushed out, stamped

out the fire and had the resulting mess on his

shoes. The gleeful boys were never caught!
