A HOLIDAY VISIT

When mother put me in the train To visit Auntie Kitty, I sat and watched the falling rain And watched the flying citV. The city ran one way so fast, The engine ran another, Till all the shops and streets were p*st» And I was far from mother. ■ M I ate a*bun, an apple too; I looked to-see my ticket: .< / • The train played Tipperary through And chirruped like a. cricket. ■' ~ And then I felt a funny pain, Although I tried to htde it, To think that I was in the train, .. ;■ And had to stay inside it. . * " I slept in Auntie Kitty's home;. ' The bed was big and cosy, , - The curtains white and soft as foara, The walls so sweet and rosy ; But in the dark,, when none was near— _ Just me, and not another— I shouted out —I felt so queer! " Oh, take me home to mother!" Aunt Kitt}* put me in the train And sent me home to mother; The engine and the. trees again Were running from each other. And, now that I am home at last,' It really seems a pity, 1 To think my holiday is past With darling Auntie Kitty. From Mavis Violet- Armitage, VTaiißMifc; ® iCopied.)
