Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 67
uld be a lone steer no longer. No, he told Bitmore, I cant come to-night—Ive got to make a speech to-night! Thanksgiving day is coming, But instead of being gladAnd counting up the minutes, Im feeling worse than bad.Was happy until Tuesday— The pies were being made,The turkey, plucked for roasting.… … I think I see him looking Just the way he used to do—His goggles big and starey. And his head all smooth and bald;It made my measles worse n worse Each time the doctor called!And now to think hes coming Here Thanksgiving day, to eat!Aunt Mary should know better Than to give that man a seat!
