DOGS GONE, canines in charge. GIRLS, raising three in a row; WHY THE IRISH CELEBRATE, St. Patrick wins. FORE! pre-historic workout; TIME AND AGAIN, a long-gone beatnik returns. CELL PHONE, a look at present uses and what might have been. There are many more to interest and amuse you, all in a variety of lively rhyme schemes.
