ROCKETS AND CRACKERS.

A wet Fourth makes a lean grave
yard.
The fool and his digits are soon
parted.
The sticks fall alike on the just and
the unjust
A thumb on the hand is worth two in
the alcohol.
1t is better not to take dare than
to get your hand scorched
The boy who doesn't get too gay may
celebrate another day.
1t isn't always the firecracker with
the longest fuse that makes the most
noise.
Remember that the giant flrecracker
is always just getting ready to go OF
when you bend over 1t to see what ID
the matter.
Let us then be up and shooting, with
a heart for any fate, lighting fuses and
then scooting-learn to stand aside
and wait.
