[Merton of the Movies by Harry Leon Wilson]@TWC D-Link bookMerton of the Movies CHAPTER IV 28/32
Ain't I the little prairie flower, growing wilder every hour? "Say, on the level, pa needs work.
These days when he's idle he mostly sticks home and tries out new ways to make prime old Kentucky sour mash in eight hours.
If he don't quit he is going to find himself seeing some moving pictures that no one else can.
And he's all worried up about his hair going off on top, and trying new hair restorers.
You know his latest? Well, he goes over to the Selig place one day and watches horse meat fed to the lions and says to himself that horses have plenty of hair, and it must be the fat under the skin that makes it grow, so he begs for a hunk of horse from just under the mane and he's rubbing that on.
