What a Little Boy SAYS.


Dear Sanity. you needn't trouble this year
To bring me any more toys that are queer
And dolls with eyes that open and shut
Or a patent swing that goes up and up
TIL you most touch the sky; but. Sanity. I
say, rs - -s,'r -r
l want to have fun in another way
At Christmas this year. and It can't be
done =.
Unless you can put wee bit Of fun
In the hearts Of mamma and papa, too.
And make them bright and jolly like you
l guess it's two years since Brother Fred
died,
And now all day Christmas mamma has
cried,
And papa sends me of to play with my
toys,
For mammals too nervous to bear any
noise"
So. really. dear Sanity you can easily see
In planning for Christmas you needn't
count me-
