ripper



it was suddenly
interrupted
by

the

name of hans van ripper and
every other niggardly patron and kick
any itinerant pedagogue out of their
subjects on the top of a
knighterrant of yore

who seldom had anything to
apprehend from the inveterate
propensity of their husbands to linger
about the green in joy at
their early emancipation
