OF INTEREST IN THE
SOCIAL REALM
THE CHERRY TREE
(The Modern Version)
He stood beneath the Cherry Tree,
His hatchet in his hand;
He dared not look because he heard
A foot-step on the sand.
His Pa came thumping down the walk,
A frown upon his face,
With silver buckles on his knees
And cuffs all trimmed in lace.
“Whocut my pretty tree?” he fumed,
“These splinters are a shock!”
4 ‘They are not splinters,’’quoth the Lad
“But ‘Chips of the Old Block.’ ”
