The Arizona Sentinel

LOCAL NOTES
A green watermelon sat on a fruit stand,
Singing "Mellow, I'm mellow, I'm mellow."
And a small boy stood there with a cent in his hand,
Saying "Mellow, it's mellow, come mel low."
So he ate a big chunk right out of the heart
And he ate it all up to the hard outside part
And they carried him out in a rag-dealer's cart,
Poor fellow, poor fellow, poor fellow.
