it is a book which has a poem in about this girl called mabbie this is what some of the book says " It was Mabbie without the grammar school gates.

And Mabbie was all of seven.

And Mabbie was cut from a chocolate bar.

And Mabbie thought life was heaven. The grammar school gates were the pearly gates,

For Willie Boone went to school.

When she sat by him in history class

Was only her eyes were cool. It was Mabbie without the grammar school gates

Waiting for Willie Boone.

Half hour after the closing bell!

He would surely be coming soon. Oh, warm is the waiting for joys, my dears!

And it cannot be too long.

Oh, pity the little poor chocolate lips

That carry the bubble of song! Out came the saucily bold Willie Boone.

It was woe for our Mabbie now.

He wore like a jewel a lemon-hued lynx

With sand-waves loving her brow. It was Mabbie alone by the grammar school gates.

Yet chocolate companions had she:

Mabbie on Mabbie with hush in the heart.

Mabbie on Mabbie to be.

The only thought that occurs to me, considering that his mother feels she needs to ask him about his bequests (he gives his mother his gold and silver), is that somehow the lover felt that since he had declared his love for her she would get his dough if he died ("I didn't know the brown and speckled eels were poison, honest!")

I think it's Don Juan which is 18 books long but I'm not sure.

The highest point of the poem "Casey at the Bat" is likely when Casey strikes the first two pitches and ignores the first two strikes, building up anticipation and hope among the crowd. The climax comes when Casey swings at the final pitch, leading to a dramatic conclusion when he strikes out, crushing the hopes of his team and the fans.

"Full fathom five" and "Where the bee sucks" are both songs found in Act 1, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's play "The Tempest." "The Tempest" is believed to have been written in 1610-1611 towards the end of Shakespeare's career.

38 ships with food for you...38 ships that must get through...Atlantic calm and the dusk of day...And a shell screams over the Jervis Bay...38 ships full steam ahead off with their needed cargo sped...while over there where the warship lay..Guns ablaze went the Jervis Bay...Faegan Knew it and all his crew ...This was the end their captain knew...With dying minutes and lives to pay...Guns ablaze went the Jervis Bay...Pounded and smashed shattered and lame...fighting on with her decks aflame...she sank with the sun at the dusk of day...but the guns still spoke on the Jervis Bay. Thirty eight ships with food for you ...28 got safely through...But of all the ships that berthed that day...In the Empires heart lies the Jervis Bay

Casey at the bat is about a baseball team that is two points behind and in the ninth inning (the last). There are two "garbage" batters before the all mighty casey. The first hits a single and the team scores once. The second batter goes up and strikes out. Now its all up to casey, there are two outs and the bases are loaded, casey is up. He gets to the plate, and the pitcher throws the bll and casey doesn't hit it claiming "its not my style." he throws again and casey lets it slide. Now the audience is nervous, there team is one point from tieing up the game. The pitcher throws another casey swings with all of his might and strike three "your out", casey missed and the team loses. And somewhere else in the world there is a happy town that's cheering, but not for this one.
