JOhnny's JOY.

JOhnny's JOY.
His optics glad he opens wide
And gazes fond and long:
A golden candy steed astrtde,
He skins the realm Of song.
His merry feelings know no bounds.
His COLDS without alloy,
And in his dream he simply sounds
The very depths of JOY.
He seems to dance, though standing
still,
And sing, though staring mute,
While all the things that fill the bill
His visions constitute.
And all his spirit quite bewitch
And make his fancies skim,
While he looks through the hole Of
which
The doughnut Is the rim.
