Letter To Old
Man Folks
SWEETHEARTS
Every heart is a sweetheart
Tenderly beating time;
All the world is merrily
A-dancing to the rhyme.
Some are playing a fiddle,
some are singing a sons,
some are trying to whistle,
And some just living along.
---
Dear Old Man Folks;
I just want to tell you now, we
are nearing the up-hill month. This
up-hill month is January- We may
well cal! it the up-hill month be
cause it tops a New Year, and from
whence all the rest of our way is
down.
Down to March, down to June,
Down to Springtime, it's coming
soon;
Down to July, down to Fall
Down a piece further and this is all!
January is a hard month on what
is known as our constitutions. You
know as much about what they are
as I do. But I have been told that
when they get all clogged up with
the cloudy-day blues, then, oh then,
we are in a pretty bad fix, This, the
doctors tell me- often affects people s
dispositions ... if you know what
they are.
I did talk with Thinkalot about
it though, and he declared thus:
„ Bad dispos i t i on5 arp things, that
if they happen to be about us, we
can't cover over with fine diggings.’’
hp says further, "Even if we
dressed in a frock of sheep skins.
and buttoned ourselves in with nug
gets of gold ... the bad, bad tiispo
sition would show through it all.”
After hearing this I was satisfied
and yet I wasn't quite so ... for
the world we are living in is full of
mountains of mystery and valleys ol
misunderstanding!
So and So.
Let's keep our eyes wide open
Let’s always listen in . .
There something else a-coming,
Bu t when, when, when?
Wishing all of you a merry merrj
Christmas. I am yours.
JIM POLLYWOG.
