   Verses to Miss Davison N.S.T. on the occasion of her resignation.

   I
   Its not unusual when wording a public address
   The effect for to make still grander
   To give it a lick on the Blarney stone
   But this is a word of candour
   II
   There are those we meet, who are bland & sweet
   Top hole when piled up is the manger,
   But it's just to find when we know them better
   That they only make a good stranger.
   III
   But Miss Davison made a good citizen
   Through the years has stood up to the test
   Those who esteemed & respected her most.
   Were the people who knew her the best.
   IV
   I'll not say but there's been a bicker at times
   For who knowing the public's gist
   With its self chosen tunes called to dance to
   But knows that you must draw your fist
   V
   Her dear solicitude the school
   The poor will live to bless her
   A bounteous given to all claims
   The church will miss her
