I'm not so very careful when it's Dceor- ation Day Or it's Easter that is comin', with th? 'Ki's that rabbits lay. But when Chrip'mas day Is nearln' It's a very curious fact That my parents seldom ask me: "B'i.1' is that the way to act?" Tong bout Chris'mas it's no trouble for mo to wash my neck An" I alwas scrub my ears until I've got out evey .pcck; MJLJiJ juj iium I IIIW ' II l I mi I I I ; An' If company is taltcin' I'm as qunt as .i mouse n I wipe my feet off careful when I'm comln" In the house. ' It certainly la funny, but at Chris'mns J time I find ( I never think of startln' off to sch..oi with shoes unshlned. Most all the time my mother has to heip me getlin' dressed, Coz I notice with my stockings that "she i puts 'em on the best. ' An' It's hard to reach the bullions -.f my pants behind my back. But nt Chris'mas time I notice that rr.y I fingers Kct the knack ! Of reachln' round exactly where Pm I wantln 'em to go An I dress myself each mornln' an' I'm not so awful slow Long "bout Ohrls'riias I Jus hurry horna from school each day to sec If mother ha3 an errand or some wort to do for me. An' I go to bed at bedtime an' I think I to sjiy ny prayers, I An' never h ave my coat an' hat upon the parlor chairs An' my pa suys I'm a dandy, an' my ma I says I'm a Joy. When we're gUtin" on to Chrjs'mas I an. Quits different boy. |
