Lithopinion


DUMB CLUCK
"The sky is falling--alas!"
And the rooster reacted with class:
Metal covers the place
Most exposed, that's his face,
But the bomb could not tell head from ass-
tigmatism (a shortsighted missile --and
the end of the limerick and even the rooster
didn't rhyme or scan but does death ever?




PEACE IN OUR OWN SWEET TIME
See this peace-loving, kindly old rhino!
He's really quite shrinking and shy, no?
Behind his swift sword Excalibur
Is his revolver high caliber
And his bayonet and flamethrower and napalm and a whole list of weapons for "protective aggression" almost too long to squeeze into a single line


From a defunct graphic arts and public affairs journal from 1965-1975 called Lithopinion. Really the absolute best magazines I have ever seen. They are definitely of their time.
