3. ORAL SKILLS
(a) THE VERN
When walking in a tiny rain
Across the vacant lot,
A pup's a good companion-
If a pup you've got.
And when you've had a cold,
And no one loves you very
And you cannot be Merry,
A pup will let you look at nor,
And even let you hold
His little wriggly warmers-
And let you snuggle down beside
Nor mock the tears you had to hide.
(Gwendolyn Brooks)
