Where the early pumpkins blow,
In the middle of the woods
Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.

One old jug without a handle,—
These were all his worldly goods:
In the middle of the woods,”

“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not

interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
