Listen, my children, and you shall hear A story of our High School dear— How through the year nineteen eleven and twelve, (Hardly a person but something can tell Of that wonderful year—they remember it well) Two little boys their way did play Through the Sophomore year—14 O. K. And these two little boys—though it might sound so— Were not twins—nothing more than good friends you know— But their names—Albert and Hubert—I’m sure you will see Really sounds as if they were meant to agree. But the incident which I began to repeat Happened in history class—you know where it meets; And these two little boys who sat side by side, Soon made up their minds to become “teacher’s pride” Not by a fine lesson, as some of you might think, But by attracting attention—quicker than a wink. So these two little boys began their play— Little Hubert locking arms with little Albert—by the way— And they succeeded in their purpose— Attracting attention—though ‘twas wrong— Very well when you consider the fact that they are young. But you’ll never guess what happened so I’ll tell you right away— They had to stand up in a corner and in that corner stay! Now, my children, in this story A moral lesson I shall find: Don’t try to amuse your teacher And watch you classmates grind: And don’t try to attract attention, For it’s sure to come, you know, In a way you are not expecting Which will make your spirits low. So mind you teachers, children, |
