As the coins change hands and cnii
Merchants to the watchmen wink.
Meanwhile, with his guards, the Mayor
Halted at the Hostlers' Fair,
Where he saw a crowd so great,
That it blocked up every gate,
Surging like a stormy sea,
Shouting, laughing lustily.
Here, the Mayor, who wished to see
What aroused such jollity,
Gave his troops an order to
Clear the way and let him through.
"Hey, you ragamuffins there-
Make way! Make way for the Mayor!"
Shouted his bewhiskered soldiers,
Cracking whips on backs and shoulders.
Doffing hats, the crowd in pain,
Stepped aside and made a lane.
Then the Mayor rode in the Fair,
Saw two chargers standing there-
Handsome horses, black as night,
Silken manes in ringlets bright
Golden in the sunlight streaming,
Flowing tails, all golden gleaming.
Here the old man stroked his beard
And his anger disappeared.
"Wondrous is God's world," quoth he
"Countless are its marvels-see!"
And his guards bowed to the ground
Dumbstruck by his speech profound.
Then the Mayor gave out strict order
'Gainst all tumults and disorders,
That those steeds, on no condition,
Might be sold without permission;
Set a guard, and off to Court
Raced to hand in his report.

Joke
Paint the Porch
A blonde by the name
of Julie was getting pretty desperate for money. So she decided to go to the richer part
of town and try to get a job as a handywoman. She rang the doorbell at the first house she
came to, and a man answered the door. She asked if there were any odd jobs she could do,
and he replied, "Well, actually, we need the porch painted-how much do you
want?" Julie said she felt $50 was fair. He replied, "OK, the ladders, paint,
and other tools you need are in the garage." When the man closed the door, his wife,
who had overheard the conversation asked him, "$50?!? Does she realize that the porch
goes all the way around the house?" The man replied, "She must have, she was
standing right on it." About 45 minutes later, the doorbell rings again, and the man
is surprised to find Julie there. She tells him that she's done, and states that she even
had enough paint to do two coats. As the man is reaching into his wallet to pay her, Julie
says, "Oh, and by the way, that isn't a Porsche-it's a Ferrari."
