JUNIOR HIGH POET'S CORNER THE TRUTH My Mother taught me to tell the truth When 1 was just a little youth. And when my Aunty came to visit, She told me not to be 'inquisit.' When Aunty said, Do you like my hat? I recalled my talk and answered, That! That night I went without my supper, And Dad gave me an awful whopper . So now I don't know what to do. Do you think that you would tell the truth? OVERHEARD AT TEA Said Lady Diane to Lady Rose, Have you heard the latest news? Lady Trusdale has the blues, Over nice James Wellington, Of the house in Shruber Park. 'Tis a pity, 'tis, For she's really a very nice lady Wliat's that you say? I really must go. I've enjoyed myself so. Goodbye, sweet Lady Diane! -Betty VaI1Atta SUNSET The setting sun is flaming Across the pale blue sky. The evening star is waking 'Way up in heavens high. FISHING I love to go fishing, lf.'s so much fun, But I can't help wishing The fish wouldn't run . But once I got A colossal shock, For upon my hook Vilas a fish that looked Like it might have jumped Right from a picture book. His tail was red. His fins were yellow, And I'm telling you He was a handsome fellow! He looked at me, Out cf one green eye, And l'm wishing you'll see Him, some day, by and by. -Phyllis Kelley Marcia Arlett Every night when dinner's through, There's always one thing I must do. That's wash the dishes, pots and 133.115, And dry them up all spic and span. Yet. when each sun is setting, Hopes are born anew, For after night there's waking, And hopes are waking too. -Margaret Ellestad Now then, if I had my way. I'd use paper dishes every day. Then at night when dinner's through, I'd burn them up: That's what I'd do. -Norma Hoag WOBBLY LEGS My Grandpa has a little lamb Who wohbles every time he stands. But what I just can't understand- Why Grandpa wobbles like the lamb. -Betty VanAtta
