Opal had a sly Idea
Delay had one too
In a neighbors room they went
to hide from all of you
Click 1 They locked the door fast
Up they dragged a trunk
Held the transom with their hands
Jean and Bertha had no bunk.
All at first were scared most stiff
Who could bo in there?
Some flew to other rooms
Others down the stair.
Then a little courage came
The transom moved both was
Hands Were scratched fingers smashed
Seeing was the craze.
Someone came with water
That atuff flew both waya
Girls were almost drowned there
Some one cried "she bathes."
Sister Bishop came along
Asked the when and why
Girls began tho blocking path
Stacked the trunks up high.
Matron called Miss Opal
Asked her one weo thing
That young lady opened the door
And then her cries did ring.
No escape was visible.
Unmoved the big trunk stayed.
And when Miss Margaret walked out there
To different rooms we strayed.
Then the capltlves gave up hope
And turned Into the bed.
No wish was left fulfilled
'Till out we girls were led.
Trunks were moved off softly
All was going fine
"Till Gene hit a bottle
Alas Correction line.
The girls went home the room was cleaned
Quiet reigns through the hall
But oh the fun and oh tho scars
when dignity does fall.
