“ALL WELL BOXED ON BOXING DAY.”
BY
SINBAD.
Oh, Christmas has at last gone by, (oh me, oh my; oh my. oh me!) and something seems not to agree (oh my, oh me; oh me, oh my!). Perhaps it was the nice mince pie. with which I was a bit too free; it tasted so deiiciouslv (oh my, oh me; oh me, oh my!). Was it the pudding made me sigh? (oh me, oh my; oh my, oh me!). I should have eaten less, but Gee, away discretion seemed to fly. I feasted rather high, but everything ■was good to see; I knew' that ill to-day I’d be (oh my, oh me; oh me, oh my!). There seems a hazeabout my eye (oh me, oh my; oh my, oh me! ) My head feels like a Christmas tree, and writhing on my couch I lie. It is a time of revel high, but we must pay for Christmas glee (alas, alackaday, oh me; oh me, ah woe is me, oh my I )
