| Mamie and Mabel and Mary and Grace,
They went off to school in a very swell place In a week came a letter signed "Your own Mayme I'm having a time and I know you don't blayme." The second young miss on a postcard wrote "May- belle" And added "I'll send more as soon as I'm aybelle. Some other folks heard from their darling Marie Who was happy, she said, as a bird on a trie. And last but not least came a message from Grayce Who said "I am firmly attached to this playce." __Albert Stroud. |
