Oa a Ty an pe bon sia. uty a) -etie (dan || ee se -This poem about Uncles and Aunts was written by Uncle Tom, of 1YA. There’s Tiger Lea at the Zoo, In his den he, prances, At 1YA there’s a Leo too, The Uncle of our fancies, All the Radio liltie Misses, Send him lots aud lois of kisses, What a wondrous luck that his is, Under the circumslances. Uncle Nod looks very glum Under the circumstances, He’s reaily lost his friend, Tom Thumb, Of him there are no traces, Is his name just "Nod’’ for keeps, Or does he nod when e er he sleeps: For poor Tom Thumb he daily w2epsVery sad circumstances! Cinderella she’s our Aunt, Because of circumstances, Do without her--no, we can’t, Under any circumstances.
