An Holiday Picture.
THE IDEAL. For the book and the shady nook you sigh, And a sunny sky above you, For the limped stream, speeding softly by, And a pretty girl to love you. For the dappled trout, gliding in and out, For fields, verdant and yellow, For the bleat of the sheep and the low of the kine, Sighs the average city feUow. THE REAL. The flies and wasps infest that nook, Insects are o'er you creeping, Extremely prosy is the book, The skies are ever weeping. The pretty girl is supplanted by Your lawful, wrathful "missis," Who wants to know what made you go Andlchoose such a place as this is.
