Twas the week before Christmas at LCPS
by Mrs. Scott's Gr. 3
LCPS
Twas the week before
Christmas and all through
the school
The children were fighting
and breaking each rule.
The teachers were tired
and wished to be in bed
While visions of holidays
danced through their
heads.
And Mrs. McCallum with
her vacuurn and Mr.
Harm lton with his broom
Could hardly wait to get
started cleaning each room
When out on the play-
ground there arose such a
clatter
Mr. Burkett sprang from
his lunch to see what was
the matter
Away to the school yard
he flew in a Hash
Grabbing good old Mr.
McKeon and of course
Mrs. Lash.
'When what to his wonder-
ing eyes did he see
But a playground in chaos
ancfkids bad as can be
Books flew in the air:
there were kids in a fight
The students had forgotten
what was wrong orwas
right.
He quickly then realized
he needed some hblp
And ran to the PA and
gave a big yelp.
Now Campbell, Now
Burkhart. now Surridge
and Mayer
We need you Hiller and
Inwood there's trouble in
the air
All teachers to the play-
ground and get there real
fast
The kids have gone crazy
this just cannot last
As they leapt f'rorn their
desks and raced onto the
scene
They all took a look and
said, "We can see what
you mean."
1 called the police Mrs.
Ritchie, ran out to say
But they said they were
busy Christmas shopping
today
We rnust call old .Santa
right now said Mrs. Black
The Star Rules are forgot-
ten we need to get them
back
She raced to the office and
gave him a call
And told him we needed
him by the left school wall
And then in a twinkling
we heard him arrive
He flew_ over Toronto,
landing in Lucknow with a
dive,
He told all the children
that no Christmas there'd
be
If they yelled at their
teachers or acted naughtily
He told them each year
that he watched this whole
school
And how proud that he
was when they kept every
rule
I want to come see you
this Christmas night
You must remernher the 3
ft's and use them just. right
To show respect, responsi-
bility and of course refuse
t.o light
The children then stopped
and they thought it all
Christmas Rush
'Across a wet Italian hill, •
AJJ stout of heart and strung of will,
Four soldiers crawl on hands and knees
Toward a clump of oli ve trees.
"M.achine-gun nest is close ahead,
Coyne, get .'ern boysi" the corporal said,
Oblivious of fear and pain,..•
'f'hey inch ahead through driving rain.'
Behind the trees that fringe the field
Two German gunners lie concealed ..
A sudden. sharp machine-gun burst .

GREETINGS
With shoppers packed from door to door,
Two ladies'rriet. "I'm tired, dear;
This Christmas shopping, every, year,
Is wearying. The shelves so hare!
There's'simply nothing one would wear.
1 just get any gift 1 can.
' 1've nothing yet for 13i11 or Anne.
No candy! And no perfume, dear!,
Moreover, riot a drop of herr'
And my poor husband loves it, tool.
1 simply dung know what we'll do.
Why don't they stop this silly war'i"

through
And then in a twinkling
they knew what to do
They all started singing
and getting along
They were kind to each
other and stopped doing
wrong
Santa said good luck as he
hopped in his sleigh
And he turned and he
shouted as he drove away.
Don't forget to be Alistars
throughout the whole year
Be kind to your teachers
and those you hold dear.
And I heard him explain
as he drove out of sight
