Selectmen are not all select as some of
you may know,
And sometimes they get grumpier the older
that they grow.
At Blennerhaven Green the three select
men hated noise,
They also hated children and particularly
boys,
Sd When the Fourth was near at hand
these three selectmen met
And said. " 'Twould be a. splendid thing
all fireworks to wet.
But as we cannot quite do that let's pass
a local act
That not a squib can be set.off, not any
thing, in fact."
Now, when the boys of 'Haven Green
found out what had been done
They hated those selectmen three for
spoiling all their fun.
"What is a Fourth without a pistol or a
bit of noise?
Til bet those three 'selected chumps
were never healthy boys."
When Fluffy Ruffles heard the. news she
hurried to her aunt:
"I'll make them give the boys their Fourth,
and don't you say I can't."
She called on Traddles for his aid. and
Traddles said, "I'll do
Each mortal thing that you command.

"Don't leave it now. but get your car and
take me to the place
Where those selectmen 'hold their court.'
I'll meet them face to face. '
They quite forget they once were
boys" "Miss Fluffy, you're a
peach!
If they have anything to Team. why
you're the one can teach."
The three selectmen Fluffy found within
the old Town Hall.
They bowed and scraped when they
found out that she had come to call:
"Miss Fluffy Ruffles, tell us, please, what
we can do for you?"
"Just come with me to Torrington. I'll
tell you what to do."
And what she told them that they did and
did it too with grace:
They bought up all the fireworks on sale
within the place.
Then Traddles took them back again and
Fluffy Ruffles saw
That ere the sun had gone to rest they
had "repealed" the law.
The Fourth in Blennerhaven Green was
tittle else than noise
And in the evening on the common, all
the girls and boys
A set piece witnessed; Fluffy Fkuffles in a
blaze of light.
-The three' selectmen paid the bill, which
.was no more than right.
