Dedication
For Dallas, and the memories of the under-stairs corner shop - C.G.
First words
Stingy old Jerry owned Kai Corner Dairy;

sold newspapers, ice blocks and pies.

Though his miserly manner made people quite wary,

they still went to buy their supplies.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)And as Christmas approached each following year,

no place could be found quite so merry,

so dripping with lights and with holiday cheer

as was found at the Kai Corner Dairy.
