oh, the day is bright and sunny, and the wntertme is gone,
and I'm clipper as a bunny that is playing on the lawn; all my
cares and woes are banished and I'm standing on my head, for the
wfntertime has vanished and it didn't leave m dead. Many things
there were to fret me when the winter days were here: punk diseases
tried to get me and to lay me my bier; I had jaundice and rheu-
MATES till L almost gave up hope, and the doctors combed their
attcs, raking up all sorts of dope. I had itch and bilious fever and
a lot of other ills and the druggist, like O beaver, worked, COM
pounding noxious pills. Every hour I sought the basement there
to feed the furnace coal which shovaed through the easement
by a man who got my roll And ny uncle saw me daily. soaking
pictures from my wa1A which I'd purchased blthely, gayly. in the
summer and the fall. oh, for winter there's n o pardon, and I'm
glad the blamed things gone, a s I whoop around M garden, turning
handsprngs o. the lawn. When this ding donged pome is written
1 shall bust a let of chairs, for I'm happy as a kitten, and 1 have
no woes o cares.
