Fun and laughter aren't very far, For here comes Dick in his little green car. Marvel is considering nursing as her career, To the sick, she'll bring plenty of cheer. Like Santa Claus is our Terry, So round, so plump and oh so merry. EIaine's sweet personality just naturally bubbles For here's a girl with no time for troubles. President of F. T. A. , that's our Jean, We all agree, she's real keen. Beverly's a gal who is seldon quiet, When she appears, there's sure to be a riotl Next in line, is Betty J.
