WHEN FATHER’S LATCH-KEY JINGLES
When father’s latch key jingles, Oh, that’s the time for funl Before he gets it in the lock We hear it, and ive run. Sometimes he is a robber —■ A robber fierce and bold— Who' shoots with an umbrella gun And steals our hoarded gold. Sometimes he is a lion Who tries to eat us all, Or drag us to his darksome cave— The cupboard in the hall. Sometimes he is a. sailor Returning from a cruise, With hosts of presents in his trunk To play with and to use. Sometimes he is a soldier On furlough from the wars; Again he is a splendid knight, With glory and with scars.
