DT Lyrics:

From: Abby Sale
Date: 25 Aug 05 - 09:23 AM

Happy Birthday!

Folk poet,

Walt Kelly

was born

8/25/1913
(d.1973)

Among his essential, and now traditional, seasonal songs is my late brother-in-law, Charlie-from-Boston's favorite song:

        Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
          Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
          Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
          Swaller dollar cauliflower alley'garoo!

[thanx to many r.m.f scholars, including "JY," Colegrove, Wisan, Jennings, Kesselman]
