Sacramento Tales

Several readers reported in with fragments of the Sacramento Tales that have

surfaced since I sent in that piece. I suspect people’s imaginations are

taking over, though. Here is the only one that looks authentic to me:

Among ye others laggyng far behynde

A THESPYANE of vyle and wicked kynde

Campaygned to plugge her synfulle picture shows

And booste ye rentales of her videoes.

More fertyle yet a source of talke-showe joks

Ye CHYLDE ACTORE, late of Diff’rente Stroks,

On fyndynge few TV roles for a dwarfe

Into a polityciane did he morphe.
