More Truth
Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
THE REFORM OF PETER
PDUNkITT.

THE REFORM OF PETER
PBUNKITT.
Pete Piunkitt was the Bolshevik
OF Hickville Public School.
He said that lessons made him sick;
He wouldn't mind a rule.
He wouldn't study or recite.
He'd sit all day and slack:
He dearly loved 10 row and fight
And sass the teacher back.
When ever trouble raised its head
The teacher always knew
Pete Plunkitt was the lad that led
The mischief making crew
When little boys with blackened eyes
To her complaining came
She heard without the least surprise
That Peter was TO blame.
But when 10 him she pointed out
The error of his course.
He only wore an ugly pout
Nor showed the least remorse.
Kind counsel did not help because
Misconduct gave him joy,
You've guessed perhaps that Peter
was
a very naughty boy.
And so one day she took a stick
And with indignant might
She beat the little Bolshevlk
Until he saw a light.
He whimpered to his seat with his
Well-say his feelings-sore
And little Peter PIunkitt is
A Bolshevik no more.
