The Town of After Ten.

I wlsht I was as big as men, To see, the Town of After Ten; I’ve heard it is so bright and gay. It’s almost like another day. But to my bed I’m packed off straight 'When that old clock strikes half-past eight! It’s awful hard to be a boy And never know the sort of joy That grown-up people must have when They’re in the Town of After Ten. I’m sure I don’t know what they do, ~ For shops are closed, and churches,, too. Perhaps with burglars they go ’rounds And do not dare to make a sound! Well, soon Til be a man, and then I’ll see the Town of After Ten! —Harper’s Magazine.
