LUCK

One evening last summer,

As you may understand,

I went fishing with my Daddy

About three miles from land.

I then let down my fishing line

And soon did get my wish,

For when I pulled it back again,

I had caught a lovely fish.

A VISIT FROM SANTA CLAUS

Some people have not seen Santa Claus,

but I have. When we had our Christmas

party Santa Claus came to visit us, and

gave us all a present. He played games

with us and we enjoyed his visit very much.

BURGEO

Something of our little Town

In a few words I will tell,

Written for our magazine

Of the School House on the hill.

The name of our town is Burgeo,

Down the hill we oftimes glide,

Our coastal boat carries the name,

It is written on her side.

Noted for its fine harbours,

The lovely Sandbanks too,

It is all a part of Burgeo,

Even the place called Bay de Leau.

The Long Reach and the Short Reach,

Names we all know well;

The Fish Plant, the Fishermen's Hope,

Where different kinds of fish they sell

One place before I finish

Grandy's Brook I must not forget

Watching the leaping salmon

While on its banks I sit.

OUR SCHOOL

Our little school is painted green,

Built on a lovely spot;

We try to make it a happy place,

And respect it as we ought.

We play games at recess time,

We think it really fun;

To hop, to skip, to jump and run

Until the bell is rung.

We have four teachers in our school,

Whom we know are good to us;

We try to please them in each way,

As all good children must.

MY CAT, PUFF

I have a little cat, her name was Puff,

Her fur was white, as soft as fluff.

Some times she was mischievous,

And did things she shouldn't do,

Like jumping up on the table, or chewing up a shoe.

She had a little rubber mouse, also a little fish

Which she sometimes played with, and often broke a dish.

But she was good, beneath all her fur,

My dear little cat, that used to purr.

TIM

There was an old man,

His name was Tim,

He used to get contrary

with the other men.

MY HOME TOWN

Burgeo is a small settlement located on the South West

Coast of Newfoundland. It has a large fish plant which

supplies most of the men with work. It also has a Post

Office, a Lodge, a Hospital, two schools, two churches,

and eight stores. Burgeo is surrounded by many islands.

It has a salmon river called Grandy's River.
