SONG oF THE SEASON,

DONG OF IhE phASON'
The perspiration no more trclles down,
This chilly autumn day;
There is no burning noon-tide sun,
No more we puff, and pant like fun,
And almost melt away.
The garments on our shivoring backs
No more are saturated through
We make no mere seashore tracks
We melt no more like heated wax
Nor know not what to do.
No more do we wag our fans,
And quarts of lager drink;
The wicked old thermometer
Don't make US hot, too hot to stir,
Or feel like smashing things, we think.
Well do the best as Autumn goes,
And groan and pant no more;
We'll wear mono but the thickest clothes,
Good, cheap and splendid, such as those
Gotten at Blondheims well-known store.
