A Request to Miss Lawton. We have been bad, We now are sad, We'll soon be mad. If you dont remove that creature That quoting, solemn preacher. Do! Thats a jolly teacher! 2 The very thing thats curing him, Is making us with sorrow, slim, Our eyes with tears are getting dim. We are drifting along in badness & gloom We soon will be sent to the big, big room To meet our undeserved doom. Amy & Jo Notes - 1 Miss Lawton sits the boys among the girls to punish them sometimes. 2 - If we get sent into the big room we get a dreadful scolding from Mr. I., I guess, although, I never have been sent in.
