TO SAVE
The Waste Basket began to cry.
He began to cry on Wednesday.
“See the children save their paper.”
“They write on both sides of the paper.”
“How will I ever get full of paper?”
Tiddly Winks saw the children save paper.
Tiddly Wee said, “They will save time too.”
The School Room Clock said,
“Tick, tock, tick, tock,They’ll save time like as not.”
“Tick, tock, tick, tock,They’ll save time like as not.”
“Tick, tock, tick, tock,They’ll save time like as not.”
“Tick, tock, tick, tock,
They’ll save time like as not.”
The School Room Mouse began to squeak.
He squeaked, “I hope they will save crumbs.”
He said, “Will they save crumbs for me?”
