THE ADVENTURES OF MICHAEL
TjSSgSwa ■■ i i 1 ■ “If there’s a *bird with ugly walk,” Says Mike, “it is old Hannah Hawke. Her face is plain, her nose is big, And as for manners, she’s a prig! When I watched Magpie’s Shop that day, I vowed her rudeness I’d repay.
Now, Sweepie, lend me, please, your brush, For Hannah’s called on Thelma Thrush, And they enjoy the sunshine hot, Perched up on Thelma’s chim-ney-pot. Now, just watch me, and do not talk— I’ll have revenge on Hannah Hawke!”
As Hannah lectures Thelma sweet, She’s suddenly swept oh her feet And knocked right over with a rush Beside the giggling Thelma Trush, While from the chimney she can see A black shape moving wickedly!
She scrambles quickly to her feet, Her gown no longer trim and neat. “He! 'He! Pride goes before a fall! It serves you right!” laughs Thelma small; And from below there comes a shout, “Ha! Ha! T said I’d pay you out!”
