[PW] Wendy-Endy and the Googenfoibles

[Sue Kamm]

I "tried" to locate the poem in THE COMPLETE POEMS OF CARL SANDBURG.  I say "tried" because (a) there is no index, and (b) the table of contents - which lists his poems by the collection - is not alphabetical within each section of the table.

I have added "prohibit copyright to any work of non-fictin that lacks an idex" to banning the designated hiter and abolishing interleague play to my list of tasks when I become dictator :)
