Poems Are Sent in.
Betty Romm of the Buchanan
sent in the following poem:
"A dog can teach lesson
AS well as any book.
II you want to pass in safety
Don't forget to stop and look.
sStop at every corner
AS Knee-H told you to,
Then you will last much longer
And help safety through and
through"
Fourth-graders at the Dent School
sent in this Jingle, to be sung to the
tune of School Days:
"Knee-Hi, Kne-Hi,
Dear old fluffy Kne-Hi!
Teaching us safety in crossing the
street,
Using your eyes, ears and then your
Watching the trantc IND signal
lights, |
Helping to show us the way that's
right:
Knee-Hi, dear old fellow, you're very
bright,
In teaching us safety rules"
Marion Hoh Of s29 Quincy street
NV. volunteered this safety poem:
@All children will be safe by and by,
If they listen carefully to Professor
Knee-Hi,
Always cross at corners,
Then therell be no mourners,
Never ride on the back of a truck
Because then you will have bad luck.
If you obey these safety rules,
All the children at all the schools
: will be safe"
Another contribution by Martha
Hollingshed at the Rose Lees Hardy
School goes:
"Knee-Hi Is so very careful
In many different ways;
He's careful when he crosses the
street
And careful when he plays.
"He never talks to strangers
Nor rides away with them,
But yet he is very polite
When others are playing with him.
Sometimes when he sees
Boys playing football in the street
He knows it's wrong
So he chases at their feet"
