MacDuff an’ MacVitie were playin’ a game, an’ usin’ MacCoy for the ball. MacKenna was eatin’ the bridal bouquet, an’ MacNeil hung on the wall. When finally my father came, his eyes were red, his nose aflame. He dinna even know his name; he was drunkest of them all. The people were lyin’ all over the room a’lookin’ as if they were dead, Then mother uncovered the minister quick, an’ she told ‘im: Go ahead. Then pa kneeled down on Bill MacRae, an’ mother kneeled on Jock MacKay, The preacher stood on John MacVay, and that’s how my ma was wed. It was a sight beyond compare. I ought to know, for I was there. There never was a day as rare as her mother’s weddin’ day! ---

(In Napoli where love is king When boy meets girl here’s what they say) When a moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie That’s amore When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine That’s amore Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling And you’ll sing “Vita bella” Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay Like a gay tarantella ---

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, The worms play pinochle on your snout, They eat your eyes, they eat your nose, They eat the jelly between your toes. A big green worm with rolling eyes Crawls in your stomach and out your sides. Your stomach turns a slimy green, And pus pours out like whipping cream. You’ll spread it on a slice of bread, And that’s what you eat when you are dead. ---

Dear Diary, It was cold today. But the sun came out later, so I went out and strolled about looking at the shops. Didn’t really see anything I liked, so I didn’t buy anything. On the way home, I posted a letter. Been quite a nice day. Somebody exploded an H-bomb today, But it wasn’t anybody I knew. ---
