SPRING CLEANING.
"In spring when woods are getting green, My wife begins the house to clean, And I am driven from this scene, Of scrub-land. The > mops and pails left on. the stairs • I come across, quite unawares, . And. break, my shins a^d utter-— 1 For tub-land. In clouds of dust I choke and' cough, v i Such draughts 1 My hat I dare not doff, i I'd go (if I were not a toff) \ To pub-land. ; But—mum—l won't kick up a shine, Nor of delight give any sign, But, quietly, I'm off to dine ';.-' ■■'■ ".'■' ■"'■•■■•■ ' In club-land.
