"I'm Just an Invalid"

Appreciative Verses of TYA Children’s : Session SATURDAY evening, November |, was the occasion of the third birthday of the Children’s Session at 1YA, and a happy hour was spent, all the "Uncles" and "Aunis’’ collaborating. The following verses were supplied by an invalid listener, "who sits around all day and listens-in to everything that comes from | YA’’-and evidently appreciates everything:

I’m. just an invalid, worse luck! Who sits around all day And listens into everything That comes from 1YA. This is a rhyme of Children’s Hour The hour that’s hard to beat; The children are so clever That it really ts a treat. Dear Cinderella’s cheery laugh Makes me feel bright and gay; She’s such a very jolly Aunt Of Station 1YA. Nod’s stories, they are very fine, And quite instructive, too; It’s very hard for me to think That they can be true. Now, Uncle Tom’s a humorist When not in preaching mood; A few more men like Uncle Tom W ould make the world quite good. Aunt Jean’s a@ very charming Aunt; Her verses cause delight. I always wonder what she'll say To us on Friday night.

On Sunday night the Children’s Choir Sings very sweet and clear, And Uncle Bort tells Bible tales Of peace, goodwill, and cheer. Peter Pan’s quick repartee Shows he’s a clever fella, He quarrels every Thursday night, And teases Cinderella, Uncle Dave’s an optimist; His tales with fun abound, And I am very, very sad When six o'clock comes round. Don’t you love the funny songs Sung by Uncle Barn? He can imitate most things, And tell a jolly yarn. For all the Aunts and Uncles Let’s give a hearty cheer. For Uncle Reg and Sunny Jim, Whom I delight to hear. So, many haps to 1YA, On this your birthday three, And may you have a happy time, And keep on cheering me.
