The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Koo koo cachoo. Or something.
That’s it? I am struggling, and that is your clue?
Yep.
Well ok, then.
It will come to you.
Author
The author named in this puzzle, probably got the quote from a famous poem publishes in the 20’s. I don’t want to write the poem here and give away the quote, but to anyone who wants it, I can send in freep mail.
Thanks. This hint helped me. I was struggling.
It’s a dead giveaway to the boomers.
Others, I guess not so much.
It was a hard day’s night for me to figure this one out.
