# Page Analysis: Judge Magazine, Page 5 This page contains three unrelated pieces: a poem titled "Resolution" about marital strain, a "Leap Year Song" referencing the tradition that women propose to men in leap years, and a "Modern Version" section with two cartoons. The top cartoon shows a man and woman by a burning cottage with an overturned car wheel, captioned "Fire! Fire!"—likely depicting domestic disaster, literal or metaphorical. The lower cartoon depicts a taxi driver with a woman inside, captioned "I'm holdin' the girl until I get my fare"—a play on words conflating romantic "holding" with the driver's demand for payment. The accompanying text makes political jabs at Democrats' spending and Florida's economic struggles, plus a comment about humor magazine contributors selling jokes to radio comedians.
