AMERICAN CHRISTMAS GAMES.
When eating and drinking and spitting and smoking
And romping and roaring and slapping and joking
Have each had fair play, the last toast of the night
Is “Success to the brave who have fought the good fight.”
Then America whistles, and Hungary sings,
“The cards in the pack are not all knaves and kings.
There are rogues at Vienna, and worse at Berlin,
Who chuckle at cheating so long as they win;
For us yet remains a prime duty to do,
Tho’ we dirty the kennel by dragging them thro’.”
