THE RUNAWAY GUY
Once there was a timid Who heard that he was meant to die Upon a bonfire blazing high! Said he, " Oh, what a dreadful fate! My mind's made up—l will not wait To meet it. Where's the garden gate?". He stepped down from his wooden seat, 4nd on his two unsteady feet He ran into the village street. And where he went I could not say; But maybe one November day You'll meet him shuffling on his way—you may! —From PRESTON CRAIG, (ago bLx), Harrisville Road, Tuakau.
