Underwear.

Here is the latest parody on "Oyer
There" written by a Meade boy:
Underwear, underwear
Itching here. itching there everywhere.
On a frosty morning
1t may be warming,
But when the sun begins to shine,
That underwear under there
Begins to scratch and to rub and to
tear.
Now. will you tell me, will you please
tell me,
How to stand at 'tention
Itching under there.
