Quote by~William Carlos Williams
In summer, the song sings itself.

Facts
Smokers eat more sugar than non-smokers do.
Beavers can swim half a mile underwater on one gulp of air.
Twelve ears of corn to make a tablespoon of corn oil.
Rudyard Kipling refused to write with anything other than black ink.
Skeleton keeps growing until you are about 35, then you start to shrink.

Tip
Walk the route with your child beforehand.
Tell him or her to stay away from parks, vacant lots, fields and other places
where there aren't many people around.
