oscar gray was a morose man
morose - you don’t hear that word much any more
he led a perhaps unfortunate existence
in a seedy rooming house
seedy - you don’t hear that word much any more
down by the tracks
wanda smith was his landlady
she was a morose person too
oscar was the only boarder
but they did not have much to say to each other
sometimes oscar suggested to mrs smith that she purchase a different brand of maple syrup
that he could put on his flapjacks in the morning
flapjacks - yet another word you don’t hear much any more
but mrs smith kept buying the same brand of maple syrup she always had
one night oscar died
mrs smith knew the drill
and expedited the necessary proceedings with all due dispatch
because she had been there before
down by the tracks
under a harvest moon
