sure there has been within the past

In the art of window decoration.

rightly that neither the wearabiiity

Our football team IS on the blink.

With long-haired teachers telling US
That players must have knowledge
They think that fellows come 10

And sends the foe pellmelling;
They rule him off the team because

We had the niftiest quarterback
Twas grand to see him fighting;
They wouldn't let him play because
They couldn't read his writing.
They think that educ3t.on means

That teachers are poor guessers;
