Nice Old Gentleman—“Well, my young friend, I suppose you know what this glorious holiday means?”
Young Gentleman, Celebrating—“Sure, but I don’t care. My pa’s a doctor.”
THE FIFTH OF JULY—CALLING THE ROLL
Adapted from a famous old poem
“Benjamin Jones!” the father cried;
“Here!” was the answer loud and clear,
From the lips of the youngster standing near;
And “here!” was the word the next replied.
