A Timely Ballad,

Some change your wife then rings
Falls strangely on your ear.
Connection is not clear?
Don't knit your brows or squint.
The meaning will appear.
1t is the Christmas hint.
On Wall street, stocks and things
You may discourse with cheer,
At bulls and bears take filings.
Your wife with cunning queer
To Persian lamb will steer.
You may not speak for print,
But realize with fear
1t Is the Christmas hint.
Sometimes It's sprouting wings
Or martyred manner drear
Or pointed silence brings
To mind the object dear.
No words you need to hear.
You quickly catch a CLINT.

You'd better get your mint.
