Subject: RE: Origins: My Gal's a Corker/...Girl's a New Yorker
Another of my mother's classics:

My girl's from Vassar
None can surpass her.
She is the stroke on the
Varisty team. (rowing crew)
And in my future life
she's going to be my wife.
How in the heck did I find that out!
She told me so.

My girl's from Holyoke
She doesn't drink or smoke.
She knows a dirty joke,
and I do too.
and in my future life...

My girl's from Wheaton
She can't be beaten
She's great out on a date.
She takes her liquor straight.
And etc.

Mom went to what was then Wheaton College for women in Wheaton Massachusetts. Not the Wheaton College in Wheaton Illinois, where Billy Graham went. She did not take her liquor straight.
