From the shadows opposite the vigilant
guardian Of the law suddenly bounced

situation so amused me- that the police
man considered the majesty Of the law.

THE OAK

Composed especially for this Peris'ye OF Pragmasn
|. Many years ago an acorn fell
Where the ground was rich with mold
And safely hidden all winter lay,
Nor Needed frost nor cold.
= The spring rains came and mostened the earth
The acorn began to Sprout
And what with sunlight and soft air
Two wee green leaves peeped out
o. Inc root grew stronger every year
The trunk grew more tall and wide
Ana with each springtime new branches came.
And spread out each side
4. To-day we admire the wondrous loru
OF the oak-tree strong and tall
Whose trunk, gigantic and branches know
Many spring and fall
D. Sunlight and air and sap that courses
Throughout this giant frame
Help to make the plant-world wonderful
Bring praise TO Natures name
