CHRISTMAS WEATHER
' o Feels like Christmas weather,
A tang- is in the air,
bump together
A hurrying everywhere.
•Ut thayVr.good-natured shoppers,
mM u with*, aa common aim,
:• ■ And e’en the* traffic coppers
Juat smile and: none will blame.
The geld wind whistle* gayly.
#’& And blows the Happen' skirts,
And the blind man on the corner
Jos’ rubbers 'til it hurts.
Aad laughing, running kiddies
Go darting here and there,
Juat like a lot of biddies
That drive me to despair.
I It’s jolly Christmas weather,
'
And everyone turns out,
We’re all just like kids together
Aa we go round about.
