Classic Poem

IN FOUR ACTS.

ACT I.

" Ho, ho! " said careless Willie Gates;
" Who couldn't learn on roller-skates? "

ACT II.

" Ah, ha! " said he, as on the floor
He struck out boldly for the door.

ACT III.

" So, so! " observed the roller-skates,
" We'll interview young William Gates. "

ACT IV.

" Oh! Oo-o-o! " said Willie, meek and humble,
" I thought 'twas easy; now I " tumble ." "
