And by her side stood he
As he smiled at her with love and PRIDE
And calmly then said she:

There's thing or two I'd say;
Pm going to cook the dinner, John
You'll eat on New Years day
'"lye read the cook book through John;
oh. why grow white and coldf
You need not do thing, John.
But just what you are told
Bring me piece of coarsest thread
To haste the turkey down.
And then some cloth, the cook book saws
The dressing should be brown.
DO not forget to order bone
To bone the ham, and buy
An egg plant fully grown. John.
To make the chicken pie.

And As it upward mounts
You'll have to grant at last, John.
