Harold McCurdy is Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In recent years, his hobby and avocation have issued in a series of poems, several of which are in book form and one of which, “Four for a Feast,” appeared in our July 1981 issue. The three poems printed here, “The Pharaoh,” “Against the Odds,” and “The Dinosaur,” all point to specific references which the reader will easily identify.
