Some additional Gorey favorites:


	From Number Nine Penwiper Mews
	Comes really abominable news.
	They discovered a head
	In the box for the bread,
	But no one is really sure whose.


	An incautious young woman named Venn
	Was seen with the wrong sorts of men.
	She vanished one day,
	Then early the next May
	Her legs were retrieved from a fen.


More of the like, including some in French and one about
a baby sinking out of sight in a baptismal font, can be found
in  "Amphigorey,"  a large paperback published by I don't know
who, but always available at B.Dalton's in Minneapolis--I would
assume that it is available at counterparts around the country.
It is a worthwhile purchase if only for "The Gashleycrumb Tinies,"
twenty-six innocents coming to early and horrible demises in
alphabetical order ("A is for Amy who fell down the stairs.
B is for Basil, assaulted by bears...").  For my money, the
picture of Neville--who died of ennui--is worth the price of the book.
