Well, I'll just read a couple more times about up.
"When The Noon Whistle Blows," that's the title.
"When the noon whistle blows, Ludi Jr.
stops whatever hs is doing, takes off hs shoes and socks,
and counts his toes.
On those days when the total is 10,
the spit through Ludi Jr's teeth arcs
true as a bullseye, and the cockroach quivers.
Justice from the jaw of a tall trooper.
When the grand total is fewer, he
breaks his head to remember when and where it was he last saw
them all tucked in together.
When the total is more, he stuffs the extras
into a hip pocket.
Watch guards against that day when
the last of the shrill dogs dies and times at bay."
I think it'd be nice to be able to do that.
