WILFRED LAURENDEAU JOHN TERRIS CHARLES RANDALL ..,m Miss Tuttle is happy And modelling clothes. She has the equipment, As everyone knows. Betty Innis's future Is certainly clear. She's the mother of twins In her first married year. William Lee is a chemist. And the best in the land. He developed rock candy From granite and sand. Makepeace and MacDonald are engineers And both in the electrical held, it appears. Mr. Knight spends his time Just thinking up jokes, As he stands on the corner And talks to old soaks. -22- To the Panama jungles Miss Moss has departed. If the natives don't know it Their troubles have started. John Terris, we fear, Is a humorous case. To tell of his plight We would need much more space
