MADELINE'S RESCUE
In an old house in Paris that was covered with vinesLived twelve little girls in two straight lines.They left the house at half past nineIn two straight lines in rain or shine.The smallest one was Madeline.She was not afraid of mice.She loved winter, snow, and ice.To the tiger in the zoo Madeline just said, "Pooh pooh!"
And nobody knew so well How to frighten Miss Clavel-
Until the day she slipped and fell.
Poor Madeline would now be dead
But for a dog
That kept its head,
And dragged her safe from a watery grave.
"From now on, I hope you will listen to me,"
"And here is a cup of camomile tea.
"Good night, little girls - I hope you sleep well."
"Good night, good night, dear Miss Clavel!"
Miss Clavel turned out the light.
After she left there was a fight about
where the dog should sleep that night.
The new pupil was ever so helpful and clever.
The dog loved biscuits, milk, and beef
And they named it Genevieve.
She could sing and almost talk
And enjoyed the daily walk.
Soon the snow began to fly,
Inside it was warm and dry
And six months passed quickly by.
When the first of May came near
There was nervousness each year.
For on that day there arrived a collection of trustees
for the annual inspection.
The inspection was most thorough,
Much to everybody's sorrow.
"Tap, tap!" "Whatever can that be?"
"Tap, tap!" "Come out and let me see!
"Dear me, it's a dog! Isn't there a rule "That says
Dogs aren't allowed in school?"
"Miss Clavel, get rid of it, please,"
Said the president of the board of trustees.
"Yes, but the children love her so," said Miss Clavel.
"Please don't make her go."
"I dare say," said Lord Cucuface.
"I mean-it's a perfect disgrace"
"For young ladies to embrace this creature of uncertain race!"
