Now Mary; she was a cute little dame, she says, "I'll make hint come !right in the lane".

Over to Londeshoro they did go, all dressed up and my, what a show! Reverend Abrey was the minister's name, he tied the knot and that was no shame. So the years passed by, as they usually do, and a mighty fine family grew up too: If you'll bear with me for a moment or two, I'll try my best and explain them to you. Now Helen she is a mighty fine wife, for that was her hope and that is -her strife. Harold Storey is the lucky chap, she's just ' the right size to sit in his lap. Then there's Leslie, he's full of pride, for he found for himself a mighty fine bride, and then again he's a harpy lad, for his father is a proud grand- dad. So now for Lloyd, he's right in tone, and he works for Jack on the telephone. He climbs the poles so straight and tall, all the girls on the line, well, he sees them all. And then there is Lorne a pretty nice guy, and I'll tell you folks he's not very shy. If there's any girls like to travel far, he will take them there in his nice green car. Milton, he is the youngest lad, he has the courage of his dad. If there's any girls here would like to dance, just give him a wink and you'll sure get the chance. Now we see that the evening is go- ing fast, and oh how we'd like to make it last. So we'll ask you to ac- cept this gift, and call on us if you need a lift, Signed on behalf of your friends and relatives.
