THE KNIGHTS OF THE L.T.L.
A KF.CiTATION. Listen, dear people, and hear us tell A tale of the Knights of the L.T.L. “Who are they?" you ask. Why, iust a band Of the very best boys in all the land. With the very best girls to help them, so They are bound to succeed when they try, you know. “Its object ?” you say. Why, just to fig : ht The powers of evil with all their might. In song and story have oft been rob. Tales of the wonderful knights of old, Who, with burnished armour and sword in hand, Went hither and thither through all the land, Driving the terrible dragons away, Or laving them dead in the heat of rhe fray. These knights are all gone, their prowess is o’er, But heroes still live and fight as of yore. And each of us Legioners is a knight; Our colours mean purity, goodness, aVid right. The dragons we fight with are many and strong, Our hands may grow weary, the day may be long, But we’ll never give in. and we’ll conquer them yet — Profanity, rum, and vile cigarette. And we wan: all the boys and the girls in the land To know whit we’re doing, and lend us a hand, There’s work, but there’s gladness and glory as well. For each brave voung Knight of the L.T.L. —lsabel Sinclaih
