The Night Before “Flu” Christmas
< Bv E. C. Durham.)
Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the town
The "flu'’ was just raging and folks
with a frown,
And a sniff and a sneeze, and an
aching old spine, *
were Just hurting a sight and al
most a-cryin’:
For ‘twas bad to be sick, as every
one said,
But worse since 'twas Christmas
and folks in the bed.
And the guns just a-shooting and
well folks so gay,
All a-working and fixing for a
glad Christmas day.
But the folks with the “flu" were
surely not merry—
Each cheek like a rose, and each
nose like a cheery:
Twas "scat” and "kerchew” and
"kerchew” and then "scat,”
And no one felt better for any of
that;
And the germs were just flying
wherever they pleased.
Each time that one carelessly
, coughed hard or sneezed.
Till we thought to pure goodness
that all folks would take it,
And Christmas would be just what
"flu” could make it.
Out there on each lawn arose a
great clatter.
But folks were too sick to see what |
was the matter—
St. Nick with his reindeer, or the
boys of the town—
No^matter, no escape from the
“flu” and the frown:
Twas indeed a bad Christmas to
the folks in the bed,
At least they all thought so and
that's what they said,
And I’m sure the next Christinas
these people are well
All about* the "flu” Christmas they
will laughingly tell.
