"When.veu were a tadpole and I was

In -the Paleozoic time,
And aide by slde en the ebbing tide
We sprawled through the ooze and
slime,"
I will be pleased te supply the rest of the
poem. If wanted. .
I would appreciate your printing a poem
(the title of which I de net knew) about a
Jeung Sietchman who took Ills wife and
