Great question! Even though I'm usually hyphen happy, I was thinking maybe no need. Seeing others' opinions, however, tips me into the keep-the-hyphen camp.

I accesses this White House page, and I am shocked. I don't want to share it here, but scroll to tgw bottom. Unbelieavably insulting and immature. This is America's website, right? How is this vulgar digital graffiti allowed?

Ya know, if you internally spoonify that sign, it says Offal O'Vice.

Last time I checked, the Republicans had control of the exec, the legislature, and de facto the judicial branches of the govt. I call BS.

And now that I know it's a well-known book, not just some ancient moldering reader from my ancient days, I looked it up and found it on archive.org/details/huck....
I'll also look forward to reading it to my niece!

Oh gee, I never knew it was Carl Sandberg! As a 8- or 9-year-old, I just read the stories. Didn't realize! Thanks! This has made my day!

This finally explains my lifelong love of popcorn! 🍿

Lol! "Chinese silver slipper buckle." Say it three times, and maybe Pony Pony will appear! Whoever wrote those stories had a good sense of humor!

I don't have the book, but I remember two things: her name was Pony Pony so that if her parents had to call for her across the fields, they didn't have to call her 2x, bc her name was Pony Pony. And there was something about popcorn going wild popping in the fields? Things that leave an impression!
