The Coming Show.

There's a nelghing In the air.
There's a whinny all around.

There's trampins on the ground,
There's sort Of expectation
That something's goins to hr
There's meaning exclamation
In the little boys "Oh, gce!"
There's feminine display
In every dry goods store
There's ngerie array
You've rarely seen before.
There's lucid explanation
OF all these things. OF course:
