THE BOY.
When you hear fearful racket
Like a miniature cyclone,
With some sounds so strange that surely
Their like was never known,
While the mother listens calmly,
Even with smiling face,
You may know that it is nothing
But the boy about the place.
When there's famine in the cupboard
And the milk pail soon runs dry.
And you can't keep pies or cookies,
No matter how you try,
When you vainly seek for apples,
That have gone and left no trace,
Hard times is not the trouble
There's boy about the place
When there's sawdust on the carpet,
And some shavings on the beds,
When the rugs are tossed in corners,
And your chairs stand on their heads,
While. if a tool you're needing, you
All round the house must race,
You may know he's making something,
Is the boy about the place.
When the house is full of sunshine
On the darkest kind of day,
And you have to laugh at seeing
Some outlandsh, boyish play,
And when eyes so bright and loving,
Oft are raised to meet your face,
You will pray, l know, God bless him,
Bless our boy aobut the place
