A Spanking Team.

Johnny and Tommy were playing out in
street where there was much fast driving, and
where they had been forbidden to go.
"Hello," said Johnny, "there comes
spanking team"
"Where" replied Tommy.
Fright across the street there; it's your
mother and mine, and we'd better cut sticks
and get out of this" which they did, with
their mothers after them.
