12,206. I GOT ME A SHED-FULL OF HEADACHE

I GOT ME A SHED-FULL 
OF HEADACHE
Acres to the ground and Delilah just
left me; I'm home alone now with
the gramophone. A little of this and
a little of that. The shaker's from the
restaurant, and the salt is from the sea.
Here might just be my opportunity
for a new commercial : 'The entire
oeuvre, now available, in 12 lovely
volumes, of Cardo Masolumbo, the
famed Italian writer of classic
crossword puzzle mysteries. 'Who
Did It and Ran? - the first volume,
to you, in three weeks, in one easy 
payment of 37.99 and 8.00 shipping 
cost, and after that another volume
sent every two hours. Quarterly 
billing, of course, available too.'
Well hell yeah, sign me right up,
it's the least I can do!
