The big shop door is bolted fast,
But through the yard behind,
Peggy has spied
One open wide,
Which she will shortly find.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
A touch--A push--and out they fly
Into the starlight night;
No one must know
The way they go
They cover up their flight.
And though their laughing faces tell
How they enjoy the fun,
No sound they make,
But quickly take
Unto their heels and run.
[Illustration]
Nor stop until they reach a field,
And find a lovely slide;
No fear has Peg,
But Meg and Weg
Cling screaming as they glide.
The "Golliwogg" with flying hair,
Takes the first lead you see,
Nor minds at all
The "Midget" small,
Her arms outstretched in glee.
[Illustration]
The sliders never dreamed of harm,
They sailed like ships at sea;
'Twas Meg and Weg,
Who Tripped up Peg,
And brought to grief their spree.
The wrong man often gets the blame
'Twas just so in this case,
And balls of snow
They madly throw
At "Golliwogg's" kind face.
[Illustration]
He catches one in either eye,
And then turns tail to run;
The steady aim
Of Sarah Jane
Grows very serious fun.
He does not like the way girls act,
For five to one's not fair;
There's no escape
One hits his nape,
Another strikes his hair.
