     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."
