Somebody over at
the center today

00:00:01.590 --> 00:00:04.437 align:middle line:84%
mentioned Virginia Mae Galloway,
so I'll read this poem.

00:00:04.437 --> 00:00:05.520 align:middle line:90%
I need a little incentive.

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:08.070 align:middle line:84%
Just mention one
line, I'll read it.

00:00:08.070 --> 00:00:11.400 align:middle line:84%
I changed the name to
protect the guilty.

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.940 align:middle line:84%
Her name was
Virginia Mae Pringle.

00:00:13.940 --> 00:00:17.160 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.830 align:middle line:90%
I changed it to Galloway,

00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:22.050 align:middle line:90%
"Virginia Mae Galloway."

00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:26.310 align:middle line:84%
"Loved her so much, I
tossed her lunch bucket deep

00:00:26.310 --> 00:00:30.480 align:middle line:84%
into D.S. Simpson's
cowlot, then hung around

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.790 align:middle line:84%
to watch the
heavy-bellied Jersey

00:00:32.790 --> 00:00:36.990 align:middle line:84%
nibble at the spilled
and curious contents.

00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.870 align:middle line:84%
Later in the lunchroom,
Virginia Mae Galloway

00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:43.770 align:middle line:84%
sat radiant in her suffering,
a cluster of disciples

00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:47.850 align:middle line:90%
asking what, and who, and why.

00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:51.630 align:middle line:84%
Virginia Mae,
circumspect and stoic,

00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:58.020 align:middle line:84%
and more lovely than a rose,
nodded and answered guardedly.

00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:01.260 align:middle line:84%
Exactly what she told
them, I should never know,

00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:03.420 align:middle line:90%
shall never care.

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:08.490 align:middle line:84%
Only that precisely after
school, under the bridge,

00:01:08.490 --> 00:01:10.770 align:middle line:84%
near Marvel
Roderick's greenhouse,

00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:15.150 align:middle line:84%
Virginia Mae
Galloway was there."

00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:17.490 align:middle line:84%
And I'll not read the
Marvel Roderick poem.

00:01:17.490 --> 00:01:19.640 align:middle line:90%
You have to buy the book.
