EDUCATION WORLD PREMIERE HUMOR
DANGLING PARTICIPLE ALERT
***************************************************************************

These dangling participles were found on the Internet. If their owners could PLEASE collect and contain them, hazards such as injurious laughter might be avoided.

• The burglar was about 30 years old, white, 5' 10", with wavy hair weighing about 150 pounds.
  
  
• The family lawyer will read the will tomorrow at the residence of Mr. Hannon, who died June 19 to accommodate his relatives.
  
  
• Mrs. Shirley Baxter, who went deer hunting with her husband, is very proud that she was able to shoot a fine buck as well as her husband.
  
  
• Organ donations from the living reached a record high last year, outnumbering donors who are dead for the first time.
  
  
• We spent most of our time sitting on the back porch watching the cows playing Scrabble and reading.
  
  
• Hunting can also be dangerous, as in the case of pygmies hunting elephants armed only with spears.

EDUCATION WORLD PREMIERE HUMOR
POET'S CORONER
***************************************************************************

The Last of the Mohawks
by Forrest Stone


No longer young, I am, instead
A guy without hairs on his head
Well, only just a very few
And not enough to do a do


No crazy Mohawk will I sport
These slender strands I won't contort
Into a bouffant's puffy hive
The effort would just look like jive


The layered look would look in error
There's not quite one whole layer there
A flip, a bowl, a bang, a toss
Have gone the way of male hair loss


For every cloud of grey and blue
There is a silver lining, too
And my bare head is, very true,
A great new place for a tattoo!
