<h2><SPAN name="FATE" id="FATE"></SPAN>FATE</h2>
<h3>BY R. K. MUNKITTRICK</h3>
<p><span style="margin-left: 1em;">Once I planted some potatoes</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">In my garden fair and bright;</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 4em;">Unelated</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 4em;">Long I waited,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">And no sprout appeared in sight.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">But my "peachblows" in the cellar,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">On the cold and grimy flag,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 4em;">All serenely</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 4em;">Sprouted greenly</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">In an ancient paper bag.</span><br/>
