A GUEST SLEIGH BELLS In forty years weve we've changed the world and traded many things Weve We've banished glowing glowin stoves to gain gam the warmth a furnace brings Weve We've polished off discomforts with inventions invention's t s magic art Weve We've built the press the button age when countless motors start But thinking of my boy boyhood days we lost a ajoy ajoy ajoy joy Ill I'll say When faithful horse and cutter were forever put away For never comes a fall of snow but what for them I mourn And that strap of ot tinkling sleigh bells we sup supplanted supplanted supplanted planted with a horn hornlI t I I would not v no now go back to live as once we lived of old Im I'm much too fond of at comfort to undress in m bedrooms bedrooms bed bedrooms bed bed- rooms cold On winter nights I would not care care to journey to the shed And carry coal to feed the stove before I go goto goto goto to bedIm bedIm bed Im I'm glad such chores exist no more and I am grateful too That wheeling out the ashes is a task with which Im I'm through Im I'm not the kind that loves the past and all aU that's modern scorns I I.
