And they're sure to get a SILVER

When they see a circle dancing
Round the moon,

Just at noon,
Or II Venus or the dipper
Has fit and turns fiipper,
Then we're sure to get a ripper
Pretty soon.
When they feel the wintry breezes
Start to blow
They will have a dozen sneezes
In row,
And they'll say: There's nothing
to 1t;
= Just know l can't live Trough it;
l am sure to die, knew it
Long ago.
Gloom and trouble hold the center
OF the play,
Optimism doesn't enter
In the fray;

With his almanac as master,
Dishes up some new disaster
Every day.
