XEW yEAKS GOOD
ENOUGH FOR, ME,-
TCopyrlirhi. lSli by American Press Asso elation 1
SOME people think that "New Year's day
Should come In April or In May.
When hillsides start to showing green
And Nature oils her old machine
Her vegetation factory
For on more spin : but. as for me.
No April New Year's day in mine.
Old January suits me fine.
A New Year starting out so late
Would get spring fever sure as fate
And then, with summer coming on.
Would be prostrated by the sun.
A yesr requires a robust frame.
Considering the kind of game
It's up against : It stands enough
To need a constitution tough.
A year that started In the spring
Would be a poor and puny thing,
A mollycoddle so effete
It couldn't bear the summer heat;
Would get frostbitten in the fall
And wouldn't stand a chance at all
When winter struck it ; by which sign
1 choose the winter kid for mine.
Yet even this is not the worst.
Consider how each year la cursed
By human deeds -the woes of Time
By fraud and lies, by war and crime.
The odium men make it wear
Demands a fiber to upbear
That is not bred by April showers
And does not rhyme with buds and flowers.
The folks that want to change the date
Of New Year's have a grudge at Fate.
They would complain and raise a din
In heaven if they should get in.
They cuss the weather snd asperse
The workings of the universe.
And they agree on but one point.
Which is that things are out of joint.
The year that's born in frost sstd snow
Will have some ginger, snap and go;
Will have the roumlt and the sast
To bear the worst fate with the best;
Will have the stsmina. in thon.
To smile at hardships like a sport.
The turn of winter suits me floe.
The January kid for mine I
