"Mrs. Stein," a poem by Bill Dodds. A Stephen Carpenter illustration.
Mrs. Stein asks,
"Interested
in a school visit?"

And they sing, too!

--1920s aerobics.

 

"And home-owner's insurance? Forget about it!"

--Being held on a neglect charge for leaving her children home
unattended at the time the fire broke out, she paced her cell.

--But would you even like them if they
had plain, dark wings and a different name?
