The RebeEahs had a Roll Call,
They have held them in the past,
There was 90 many good things saidS
It surely will not be their last.
Members cf49 we're all there,
Especially our honcred boss,
But We love to take our orders
From our President Edna Ross.
What is swifter than the feet.
But often strains lung,
Is to be in close race
And only use the tong ne.
The toasts went round the hall
About six times on the run,
But Sister Dutton held the lead,
And We all enjoyed the fun.
The brothers looked discouraged
And gave up in forlorn.
But one that tried to bold his own,
Was our Grand Seci etary Horn.
When it comes to story telling,
Although it is fake,
Our Worth Scribe, Brother Gipson,
Will surely take the cake
They are Jolly lot Of Sisters,
They always meet you with smile
That would warm the heart Of gatin,
And make living wort h while.
Now if you want to live better,
And live it eli the time,
Something that will make you happy
