Tossed thus in the arms of your PUNCHY right cheerily,

'Midst all that a youngster should love and enjoy,

At least, you're beginning most merrily.

Under the Mistletoe Bough

You make a good start, anyhow.

With a kiss from the lips that can never betray,

There's many a girl would be greeted that way!

You're welcome, my lad! It is Punch's old style

To hail with stout heart all such annual new-comers;

In winters of chill discontent he'll still smile,
