Benzie Banner; 1925 ---- Researched; Mar. 2000 Nov. 26,- A Poet In Our School - " Margaret Long " 8th grade

• • The first thing in the morning,

We Rrose from our seats and ran: We sat down in the high school room To listen to a poet man.

• • He told so many funny things,

It made us laugh and clapp, But just the same, I thought That stuff was very short and flat.

• • He stood up there and bellowed,

And yelled with all his might, So you know I wasn't sad When he was out of sight.

• • Although his looks were very harsh,

He was so very kind, He told us of his own dear town, That he had left behind.

• • I think it kind of him to come,

And tell us of his home, And how he squandered when he was young. And how he loved to roam.

• • I'd like to have him come again

And read to us a poem, Twould make our thoughts go back a step, To our own beloved home. ( Pg. 1 ) Entry date; March 8, 2000
