There are many recognized breeds today that 1t well
might be that could become confused in dentfca

the category OF dog that more often than not is vicious
and attacks human beings. l don't think statstics
actually prove this think that many dogs are called
German Shepherds that have little or trace of this

HuRDY-oURDY
By THE MAN m THE TOWER

It used TO be when spring came round
With customary leap and bound,
Youngsters that strong and sturdy
Howled with glee when hurdy-gurdy
Made It's seasonal debut on our street,
And was enjoyed by all including the cop on his beat
Remember the choice tunes Sole MILO,
smart little monkey that was called Leo.
The organ grinder In his glory
As he gave us La Paoma and II TroVatore
The children sang and they pranced,
The monkey collected pennies the kids danced.
There's still few hurdy gurdies left,
But somehow or other do they seem so deft
AS the good days when they played soft and sweet
When spring came along our street.
