fiffle foolzs on finwooa Did you ever hear of Linwood? K Perhaps it's just as well. I Then lend an ear and listen, y To the tale I have to tell. It's not a very big place, But I know it's on the map, The railroad tracks' run through it To help jill up the gap. It has a famous bus-line, 'Un which some kiddies go, To get a little knowledge, And learn to cook and sew. Each morning bright and early, To Hills' the bus doth spin, To pick up all the victims, And get them all within. The first we see arriving A lassie tall and slim, We know it's .leanie F oster-- Who else has such a grin? And there are Ed and Dorothy, Dorothy-did I say? No, but patience, just a second,- She says shels on the way. Sputter! sputter! down the street, Until at Hains, we stop, Is Irene almost ready? That boo-k she'll have to drop. Roes, is next, I hear them say, And Bob is on the run, Coat a-flying, hair amuss, And books that weigh a ton. Oh yes, there still is Helen Voll! Now, she is ne ver late, She's always ready on the dot, With pencil, book and slate. Look in now at Wallenstein, Our Lloyd is still asleep, Five minutes is a lot of time From out of bed to creep. Giggle! giggle! gosh! and gee! Have you got your history done? And of they go, those Linwood kids, - Another day's begun. -r-..- ra-: fi-f .- S- ---1:3-V . - The each 0' fha 'llofzlh The Cock O' the North was a queer old goat That liked to eat old bones, He had a ravenous appetite, And he relished a plate of scones. He liked to spring on passers-by, W e didn't think it fair, On roof-tops, too, he loved to perch, And think of another to scare. He carried on through summer and fall- W e never could wear him down, He jumped, and kicked, and hopped and ran, He was a funny old clown. One day he overdid himself, He ate a pound of paint, His stomach could not stand the shock- He then became a saint. We gave him a splendid funeral, And laid him in the ground, We can't explain how he found the paint, But now he's under a mound. DELORES SNYDER, X A fWith apologies to J. R. Allan? C2 Diem One day as I walked down the street, I met the queerest sight, A dog with eyes as black as coal- T his didn't seem quite right. I looked at him, he looked at me, I really shouldn't stare, But it seemed so very queer to me, His nose just wasnlt there. His hair was long and shaggy, He was very short in size, His hands were just as big as mine And he had the queerest eyes. And then as I was watching him, I heard the fiercest scream- I woke up with a start to find All this had been a dream. ., - . Bon.RoE,,X.B.. I JANE SHURLRIXB 45
