LINES WRITTEN ON A MUTUAL ACQUAINTANCE.
Old Winter has arrived in town,  He came last night by the express, And though he hasn't told his plans,  He'll make a lengthy stay, I guess.
I met him on my way to church,  He joined me with a frigid smile; In vain I hoped to see him thaw,  Although he walked with me a mile.
In fact he hasn't changed at all, He's just the same hard, crusty fellow, And will be to the end of time, No age will ever make him mellow.
