BEDTIME.
If once I didn't go to bed, J shouldn't get the blame, For everybody that I know calls bed a different name; Mummio says: "Come, sleepy boy, away to Bye-Low Land;" How can a chap know what that means ? How can he understand t Then sister says: ."The saudman's here, to carry you away, You're gojng to sail the Sea of Dreams, and stop at Blanket Bay." While every night the Hello Man isays: "Time, I think, don't you, For boys and girls to go to sleep?—so off to Buukeydoo." And though I stretch my eyes out wide, as wide as anything, My brother says: "It's eight o'clock, como on, old boy, turn in." No wonder I'm puzzled at what they all have said, It's simply great to hear dad say; "Now, Bonny, off to bed." -J.O.S.
