Boreas will roar; the wolf will thrust
his muzzle through the keyhole in the
door. He'll whiff the scent OF bacon
bought at 80 cents pound, and plain
potatoes by the box with tissue wrap
ped around; and every time we chase
him of and bid him to his den, the
trusts will pump his stomach out and
sic him on again.
The water pipes will all explode
And give the house . jar;
The plumbers chauffeur will get out
The throbbing racing car;
But while relief is on the way
To plug the gushing spout.
The car will have . hemorrhAge
And blow its inards out
The unemancipated wife will quit
her coy bed and build the IRE the
while her lord pretends that he IL dead
She'll wrap herself up in her hair and
shiver in the dawn, and chop the
kindling. hustle coal and turn the
damper on; and while she freezes till
she turns the hue of . persimmon. the
scientists will wonder why the mon
outlive the women.
Miladys winter suit will cost
A hfty-dollar note,
But man will face the blizzard in
The Same old overcoat.
The cook will gasoline the IRE.
And the choir. in sweet accord,
Will sing on Sunday at the house.
20, I am coming Lord!"
On the 21st the sun will enter Capri
corn, and the winter solstice will oc-
cur. This will cause trusts to spawn,
and the yule tide will come in. Sol
stice is from sol (the SUM and sistere
Ito stand) Thus, having touched its
turning point south of the equator, the
sun temporarily stands still. This
was where Joshua held It up, from
which we have our word josh. Any
body can do 1t.
At any rate, the 21st will be the
shortest day Of the year. and We shall
pass under the influence Of Capricorn,
the Goat This Is the tenth sign Of the
zodiac. 1t was represented ON the an
cient monuments as an old man with
the body Of a goat, which signifies that
during the Christmas season father 10
the goat.
The Christmas shoppers Marathon
Will happen as Of yore.
And the little savings bank will chase
The present round the store.
The unleashed dollar will pursue
The frightened Teddy Bear.
The crowd will trample on the clerks
And pull each others hair:
The young and old will pull and push.
And mill around and butt,
And Santa Claus in terror will
Take to the tall uncut.
An then the fateful Christmas Bve
will come with wintry weather, and
Morgan will hang mp his shirt with
both tails pinned together: and any
thing BY way of luck that manages
to miss its yawning neck we're well
come to, o Joy and double bliss!
The happy kids will rise at morn
With rapture at the bat
And get down twenty-seven steps
With turn downiDveloasa n.By;la
With turn in nothing nat.
The tickled heart Of youth viii dancs
And sing its wondrous luck.
The cautious boy viii climb tie dus
To zee II any struck,
The house will oscillste with 5oy,
The breakfast will be late.
And old John d. will get the earth
For thirty winters straight.
