42 The Village Stfan by Vil Bryant (dedicated to Trudy Kuslan) (with no apologies to Longfellow) .......... Beside his trusty mimeo, the village stfan stands; The fan, a puny jerk is he, with skinny, ink-stained hands, & the muscles on his scrawny arms are microscopic strands. His hair is wild, unkempt, & long; his face is pinched & grey. To get his fanzine done on time he toils till break of day - & looks the whole world in the face .... & the whole world looks away. Day in, day out, from morn till nite, you can hear his mimeo. You can hear him turn the cursed crank with measured squeak & slow - & you wish that Mephistopheles would take him down below!
