For nine long months the president Of a class that never could be content, He sat there now and wondered how In the world that time was ever spent. -And Ruth sat next. On a slight pretext She glanced across at Weston, who Was having all that he could do To prevent a blush from showing through. He was trying to think of the nicest way To say the things that he had to say, Which were the nicest things he knew. -On the face of Dutch there sat a frown, For he had no pocket in his gown In which to slip the last small change Which he had kept at a wide, wide range From all the creditors in town. -Then Laurence barked most violently, While all the -others turned to see Just what was wrong with his constitution,

Now, he didn't say how, But they must have done it in some odd way, For Ralph is still alive today.
