Madeline's Rescue (4)

Madeline's Rescue (4)




When the first May came near
There was nervousness each year.




For on that day arrived a collection
Of trustees for the annual inspection.




The iinspection was most thorough,
Much to everybody's sorrow.




"Tap, tap ! " " Whatever can that be ? "
"Tap, tap ! " " Come out and let me see ! "
" Dear me, it's a dog ! Isn't there a rule
" That says DOGS AREN'T ALLOWED IN SCHOOL ? "




" Miss Clavel, get rid of it, please, "
Said the president of the board of trustees.
" Yes, but children love her so, "
Said Miss Clavel. " Please don't make her go. "
