NOTES FROM THE PRIMARY BUILDING

When my pa begins to snore And drops the ashes on the floor, Then in come ma and wakes him up, And makes him sweep the ashes up. —Russel Grant, Third Grade. Christmas Thoughts. When I sit by the fire a-dreamin* Mr’s in the kitchen a-schemin’ How to bake her pie and cake, When I smell the things m-cookin' I go around a-lookin’ At the pie and cake. Then I sit down and go to smokin’ And tna*M say the fire needs pokin’ Soon ma’ll say, “Come to supper, Joe,” Then FU go and eat the pie and cake, And think, “Gee, ma’e tome hake.” Madalaine Sprague, Third Grade.
