“When I was a school boy of fifteen or more...”
(continued from previous page)I never heard going,
I think you were better have some of them mowing
And all to the house "Pat" breakfast is ready,
And tell these young boys to be somewhat more steady
At breakfast we sat in our own gentle way.
She gave us a lecture we could not gain say
Some big soda cakes, became things of the past
Some neat little butter prince disappeared very fast
When breakfast was over we started to mow
And all put into practice old ladies lesson.
