THE TATLER Spring is here! We know it As we move along to class The putt putt putt is heartenin’ For there's mowin’ of the grass. Oh the power machine is throbbin’ Down the straight way cornin' fast Slowly turning-loudly phutting The yard man’s mowin' grass. Five days a week he works so hard Disturbing teaching of the class Let's give the man a great big hand Yea! For noisily mowin’ grass. Whee—the students love the clatter When he pulls down on the gas It makes the teacher stop explainin' Difficult things in Algebra Class. Now at Alton High we’re sensible As from room to room we pass From Monday morn to Friday eve We hear them mowin’ grass. Saturday’s a day for pleasure In the spring we fish for bass And cast our thoughts from humdrum things Like the mowin’ of the grass. Of course we wouldn't think of Replacing customs of the past So we give the yard man Saturday Off from mowin' of the grass. When a Senior or a Freshman Sits together with his lass There is nothin' more relaxing Than reclining on new cut grass. Gee—we're lonesome in the winter When we knuckle down at last There's nothin’ to disturb us For they're done with mowin' grass. (Clifford Alldredge)
