A POLISH SONG: THE CUCKOO SINGS
THE CUCKOO IS CALLING,
A LAD IS LOOKING, FOR A BRIDGE,

HE IS THE RICHEST.

Submitter comment:
THIS SONG COMES FROM THE SOUTH WESTERN PART OF POLAND CALLED
SLASK. MY PARENTS WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT, BUT I LEARNED IT AT
POLISH LESSONS IN DETROIT, FROM MRS. HELEN CHMIELEWSKI.

PREVENTION AGAINST VAMPIRES
IF ONE MORNING YOU AWAKEN AND HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME BREATHING
OR HAVE A FEELING THAT SOMETHING HEAVY IS ON YOUR CHEST, THIS
MEANS THAT A VAMPIRE SAT ON YOUR CHEST OVERNIGHT.
TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, GET A BROOM
TURN IT UPRIGHT, AND LEAN THE BRISTLES AGAINST
THE DOORKNOB. THIS WILL PREVENT THE VAMPIRE FROM ENTERING
