In good condition with closed tear near text but with no content loss, light foxing and light chipping to all edges. From the song: "Thanks giving day was drawing neigh/Saes [sic] everyone we want a pie/we think his pooch wil [sic] be the best/ we'll eat it up and sell the rest," ending with the chorus "poor old ram let him die."
