A FALSE ALARM.

And called him a false alarm.

In a tone sarcastic told him flot
He was a nature fake and that
He'd lost all his old time charm.
A man who had just bought anthracite
Scowled hard at the robins tune.
And said. You'd better fly your kite
And reserve that song till June.
Then an idea seemed to percoIate
And the little boy said, sure as fate.
