Les Antiquités de Rome, III.

"Toad wrote on the ground with a stick: Go to Sleep.

Then he crossed out: Go to Sleep.

'There,' said Toad. 'Now my day is all crossed out!'

'I am glad,' said Frog. Then Frog and Toad went right to sleep."

Folsom Prison Blues. Awhile back i wrote: "Folsom Prison Blues" should be our national anthem--it says more about America, with its guns, its prisons, & its loneliness of highways, than any other single song. But to be the country of 'This Land is Your Land' (including the often-omitted verses)--that is something to aspire to."
