"AUNT PAT GOES TO WIRELESS LAND"

Aunt Pat, dear children-has been away, But I did not know till the other day Where it was that she travelled to. Lut Brer Rabbit told me, so I'll tell you. It was so strange, how 1 all came abort i never could really have found it ont. i was sitting alone the other night, Yé wasn’t dark and it wasn’t light, When I heard a queer sound, so I ran to the door, And was just in time to see a browi paw Mropping a note in my letter box. 1 hadn’t heard footsteps-there’d been no knocks. , ‘was old Brer Rabbit! then off up the street, X heard "patter-patter" go his soft Tittle feet; Aud this was the note that I got from eld bunny. Vit have to tell you, it was so funny. ‘he note just said, "If you want some fun Put on your hat and run! ran!! run!!! As fast as you can to 3YA. The fairies are taking Aunt Pat away." So off I ran, and when I got there, ‘The fairies had trooped to the top of the stair. They said: ‘‘We must watch ont for Uncle Sazmn,’’ But they found he’d gone home on the Sumner tram. Then they peeped in the microphone, romped round the stair, And even tried the annonuncer’s chair, While with soft fairy voice, one small wireless sprite, Said: "Our session’s concinded; we bid you good-night." , And then they hunted and hunted around, , Until in the office Aunt Pat they found. Aunt Pat began to Jaugh and laugh, When they led upstairs a tall giraffe, Who bowed his, head and wished her *Good-day" And said: "A fine station, the 3YA." He said he’d come from far over the sea And was only too proud aria too happy to be ~ he one who was chosen to fetch her away. . ‘fhen bowing again on the carpet he lay. And dear Aunt Pat could do nothing but laugh. And stroke the head of the prond giraffe, She’s so full of fun herself, you see That she quite enjoyed this Wireless Spree. Then the fairies said: ‘We will take you afar, To the place where the wireless fairies are. We have often heard your happy laugh, So we all decided to send the giraffe. He’s a trustv friend and true, And he. knows our wishes regarding you," Then the old giraffe again bowed his head, And there in the room steod a coach of red. And the fairies harnessed the tall siraffe With wireless waves. Didn’t Aunt Pat laugh. Then they put the wireless reins in her hand, And said: "Off you go to Wireless Land."’ Of course all the fairies went with her too, And wasn’t there then a fine liullabaloo. It; was dark as dark but it was such fun, And the old giraffe soon started to run. Of course Aunt Pat didn’t know the way And she couldn’t help wishing that it was day. At last they came to the Static Zone, Such a noisy place and oh so lone. ‘They came to a beautiful place at last, Where the old giraffe did not go so fast. There were aerial masts everywhere slic turned And this was wireless land she learned. She saw one place with a beautiful done, And they told her that that was the fairies’ home.
