Love's rather too apt to be left in the lurch
By Orbilian smiters and scolders.
Under the Mistletoe Bough
A kiss is best treatment, I trow.
A salute from the lips of your _Punch_ you'll not spurn,
And the young guests around you shall each take a turn.
The outlook, my lad, seems a little bit drear,
There are clouds and storm-shadows about the horizon,
But--well, you're a chubby and rosy Young Year
As ever your PUNCHY set eyes on.
Under the Mistletoe Bough
You look mighty kissable--now.
So here goes another, for luck like, my dear,
As we wish everybody A Happy New Year!
