The Sad, Sad Story of the Obsks

Long before the Obsks would make a casual appearance in ``If I Ran the Zoo'' thier own story would be told. This story comes from Ted's life around the time he left Standard Oil in the 30's while the depression still held America in its grips. If was a 4 page illustrated novelette that was never published, and the text went like this.

			A flock of Obsks
			From down in Nobsks

			Hiked up to Bobsks
			To look for Jobsks

			Then back to Nobsks
			With sighs and Sobsks...

			There were, in Bobsks,
			No jobs for Obsks.
