WARMING TP.
Warming up, old boy!
The big oak logs sblazlng high;
What a circle of Joy,
The cat and dog arid you and I!
Sitting all close up?
The h^at aint yet spread all around; j
Icles on my back
A-plnylng leap-frog up and down.
Awful cold, old boy.
But it don't pay to stay in bed:
Shivering now, Its true.
But those old logs will goon bo
red. >

Lazy fire, that Is,
Throw on another llghtwood knot;
Logs blazing high, It's true,
But mighty slow a-gettlng hot
Hook
>k at Nero, there;
See how he shakes and whinas and
begs,
?Mbst shook himself to pieces,
His tail froze fast betwixt his legs.
Another knot, old boy,
A great big, fat one if you please;
I'm burning on one side,
But 'toher side about to freeze.
Pussy, over there.
Seems to be thinking lots of things
Sitting mighty straight and tall,
.With eyes as big as linger rings.
Poker here, old boy,
Give that front log a little turn;
That Is just what It needs.
See now, it's started off to burn.
Warming up, old boy!
Log* getting hot at last?Oh my!
What a clrcle of Jey,
The cat and dog and you and O.
