The Pears pair was spared, having a tare. Never, never, did House Lady pare a pear on Labor Days. Grandpa did peel his pears, watch for him.

A Hard Day's Night lyrics:
"A Hard Day's Night"
It's been a hard day's night, and I'd been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone
You know I feel OK
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah
It's been a hard day's night, and I'd been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright owww
So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone
You know I feel OK
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah
It's been a hard day's night, and I'd been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright

* Fictional person, no relation to Chuck Yeager, famed test pilot. Also, in the 1980s, he was prominently featured in Tom Wolfe's book The Right Stuff and in its 1983 film adaptation, in which he has a cameo role as bartender Fred." (link)

Frisky and Hairy -- Succinctly-Yours
Frisky looked wistfully in the window. Today she wanted inside out of the rain.
.
After Fresh Hairy had come into their lives she became an outside
cat.
.
"Banished", she'd say. Not that she was jealous of
Hairy, even though she was, just for today she wanted to be back inside in the
dry.
.
Misses had decreed.
There would only be one inside cat in her household. And Hairy, a
young kitten, needed protection.
.
Protection from the other Toms roaming around. At
least until he was 'fixed' after which they would shun him like she wished
they'd do for her.
.
"You know," she got to thinking, "I wonder if
one of those Tom cats would do a murder for hire?"
.
"I've lured Hairy outside before, I am
sure I could do it again. I'll call John Cat now, he has connections."- - - - - -
