VACATION.

Now's uhe time of relaxation;
Blissful, joyful gay vacation
Has arrived at last!
Ended is the minds taxation,
Naught but fun throughout creation
How l love my dear vacation
When the seasons past
Goodbye Virgil, goodbye Caesar,
Farewell Homer-you're a teaser.
No more maps and spelling bees, sir,
Pleasure now for me-
Study days at last are over;
For the while I'll be a rover,
Live in sunshine and in clover,
Join me in my glee.
Love it while lit lasts, my fellow,
HE to mountain pass and hollow,
Where no books or lessons follow
Fun without alloy.
Heart whole lad, no cares you borrow
Fancy-free, unknown to sorrow,
Thinking never of the morrow
Happy, happy boy!
