A BIC PIECE OF PIE.

Our Ollie went to his bed
With tears just back Of his eyes,
And pain, because, rs his sister said,
He was "overly fond Of pies
lie dreamed the dreadfnllest dreams
As dreadful as they could be;
For q big, big piece OF pie, IT seems,
Is bad, bad thing for tea.
He dreamed Of terrible snow
That fell from an inky sky,
And every flake that the winds did blow
Was big a. pumpkin pie!
All in heap twas laid,
While the rude winds laughed in glee,
But oh, the deep, deep drift that 1t made
Was a sad, sad thing to sec.
Then he thought the summer was dead,
And Winter would always stay;
That an iceberg ledge was his only bed,
And glazicr his home by day.
And the Sun, too late he rose,
And he went to bed too soon,
And long long icicle hung from the nose
OF the cold, cold Man-in- the-moon.
He turned to his sister; oh.
How lonely and sad he felt
When he found she was made OF ice and
snow
Which hing would be sure to melt.
just think of the dreams he had,
As dreadful rs dreams conld be!
| Oh, d big, big piece of pie is bad
For q small small boy at tea!
