RETROSPECTIVE
I sit and think till the sun goes down,
Of by-gone days in old Newark town- -
Everybody in a run, busy as can be,
Getting ready for our annual Christ
mas tree.
The house is filled with the girls and
boys,
Then came Santa with his load of
toys.
But you could tell, plain as could be,
I thought none were there like Maggie;
and me—
But, alas, we flew over the pond,
And captured two fellows called Jor
dan and John.
