I describe my baboon as baboon-shaped. Her name's Babs, which is short for baboon. Sunday I pushed her to the library where we were given a library balloon. It had snot on it, the balloon, because the li- brarian had the Shanghai flu. I'll take my free-book-borrowing busi- ness to Havana, Cuba, where snotty librarians are chippy chipper & well & they never trim their dry quims & they're not bound for hell.
