Well, this year’s seen some changes, I’ll allow, —Some for the better —I’m a widder now! ’Enceforth I mcanter have a bit of fun — I been a good wife —but, thank God, that’s done! —Not such a bad year, nothin’ very nezv, —The farmers starvin’—but they always do. Murders and haccidents, — more people mowed Dozen every time they tries to cross a road. —Prince Henry’s weddiri! My! That zvas a do! —Poor girl! —All hopeful like—Once I zvas too! Hope and a cup o’ tea —that’s all I’ve ’ad— And yet I haven’t rubbed along too bad. Gover’mcnts and years—they comes and' goes —and none But 'as'nt promised fairer than it done. —M. C. Trench (Adapted).
