The Cover
- Let’s find fault with Mr. Siesta for half a minute. If he is celebrating Arbor Day, the object is to plant a tree, not kill it. If that tree, which needs a drink more than he does, dehydrates long enough in what Artist Dick Sargent says is Southern-state sunshine, it may cast off its leaves after being planted, look like a hat rack, and grow about as fast as one. Is Mr. S. waiting for his wife to dig the hole? In any event, it’s obvious that whatever the man is good at, it is not horticulture. Which could account for his now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t lawn; no doubt he sowed seeds on the blank spots without raking them in, and when he turned his back, the birds gratefully ate them one and all. But enough of this petty censuring. After all, he’s happy, so what are we worrying about?
