Longfellow l Listen my children and you shall hear Weather news of a faculty dear, 'Twas in the year of '37 That thoughts of this report were given. 2 'Twas one day in March of that grand time When a bad blizzard assailed Bob Strine, All our knowledge went on the wing For we saw threatening-snowstorm King. 3 No hope was there for reaching shelter For next came the whirlwind Hensinger, Blue skies Martin then told us the trick Less noise in music will please Messick. 4 Hurrah 'tis spring and no more winter Welcome indeed is sunny Kinter, Happy we'll be in our new found cove lf we can withhold more storms from Grove. K 5 Now we have made a weather. report You may laugh or cry or just make sport, But we ask you, and our teachers too, Don't you think that it's really quite true? E701
