10 o 5> hy 2s When evening came we called a halt, We were tired to death=â€"it was no ones fault | We sure were glad to go to rest, * § The accommodation was the bedt. | The next dayâ€"Tuesday was much the same, tss More wonders than anyone could name, | Once more we hied us back, ee" | To Papineau Street to hit the sack. | The highlight came that very night, | A peaceful sleep was turned into fright, At Two a.m. & bell did ring, I growled, "Oh, turn off that thing." | "We want to sleep, Go take a pill. | Stop the noise, and let‘s be still" . Then there was a knock upon the door, â€" "Fire", ladies, "Fire" upon this floor." "So waste no timeâ€"â€"get all your stuff, If you stay too long, it may be tough." We threw our things into a pile, Coats and nighties were the style. We surely were a motley group, When we collected on the stvc:fi; It was hard to know just who was who; There was no makeâ€"up and no nice hairâ€"edo. No fireâ€"â€"just smoke, but just the same, I feel that my friend merits some fame; Have we got everything=â€"we think, I fear I left my toofies in the sink. _ She gaspedâ€"â€"our lunch is in that room; She dashed away like the crack of doon; She was gone before I got my breath; &A friend in need so some one saith. Some years ago you may recall, At a convention in a London Hall, I lost that same set to uy shame, But happily they turned up again. It seems that I‘m destined to appear In public with a silly leer. hk For the rest of the trip it will be soup, > Serves me right for being such a dupe. But noâ€"â€"she‘s back; oh, what a gall To risk her life just for a pal, I must kesp in mind wgat she‘s done, My admiration she has won. I pondered while my feet were cold, I‘m a bit stupid so I‘m told, When roused from sleep by the alarm, I must bhave tucked my shoes under my arm.
