CHRISTMAS 1913
A gay and merry ChristInas-I1me,
to you, dear friends, with love
From the caretakers of Starkweather House
(see photograph shown above)
We have kept the homefires burning
in the white house on the hill
We took every kind of job,
with pep, If not with skill.
We clipped the hedges cut the grass
and rolled the tennis court,
We painted and raked and sprayed and sweat
at work of every sort
We weeded and hoed and fortified,
fought off and bugs
And rabbits and moles and aphs and mildeW
and beetles and boreS and sugs
The gnats and mosquitoes kept biting our legs
the horse flies made bumps on our backs,
And there time, came to find out,
for to sit down and relax
The grass grew green in gravel and bricks,
but never would grown in the lawn.
And the weeds growing twice as fast as flowers,
had roots that had to be
Oh, life is full Of pushes and pulls
of lifts and shoves and heaves
But you're much too tired to dance and rejoice
when you're bringing in the SheaveS.
No. Sing the song Of Harvest-home
with painful steps and slow,
The days work done, the summer past.
(see photograph shown below
So Florence and Rod Ann, Mart and john
Tony and Paddy too
Have sowed and reaped each in their way,
this year that we We just gone through.
For Heaven sends each his harvest
and its plenty and goodness depends
On our sowing ana care that gave to work.
and the best crop Of all is our friends.
So Happy New Tear TO you all, dear crops,
may your joys and your blessings increase
And next year, we're sure, all efforts will bring
wonderful Harvest of Peace.

to the attention of all motor We
hicle operators that Operators Lie
