I’m thinking of my playmates, And oh; how we go so free Most every evening, when school was) out, To play under the old big tree. Some have left the city, to find a place to dwell, But, I still hang around this old

town

And These few things I tell: Most boys this day at the age of ten, They really think they are full grown men And the little girl at the age of nine, Instead of school There’s something else on her

mind;

So I tell all of you good parents And hope you won’t get mad, Draw in your lines a little tighter Before things turn out bad—sad, While reading this I think of

thee,

And my dear little playmates, And the old big tree; As we go through this world day by day, Still teach the young one, that crime does not pay. 4 4 4 4 Thomas B. Horsley Jr., of the U. S. S.
