In the biting blizzard "Weather When the snow comes to your knees, Would you like to fish for pennies While your feet and fingers freeze? When the gleaming' snow is drifted Underneath a half a foot of sleet, Would you love to have 'the chillblains In your elbows and your feet? •, When outdoors the wind is whistling, And the air is full of snow, Would you love to have a jitney And the blamed thing wouldn't go? Yes, I'd love the good old fireside,. Sipping coffee from a pail; But I have to buck the snowdrifts, 'Cause the farmers want their mad. I don't mind the frozen snowdrifts, When my legs are stiff with cramps, But you keep your: blooming pennies— Buy a quarter's worth of stamps. I get the snow mixed in my whiskers And I get it in my socks; But it never hurts my feelings, Like loose pennies in the box. HOLMESVILLE WI M. S.
