JANUARY 1st, 1883.
Wake me early, mother dear,Set the alarm for nine,
For I'm to receive, you know, this year,
Thanks to that San Juan mine;
And mother dear, let the lay-out be
Decidedly recherche;
For once, I'm determined to be on top
Of those Johnsons over the way,
So wake me early and don't forget
The rush will begin at two;
And I'll be heartily glad, you bet,
When the racket is fairly through!
