The Town of After Ten.

• I wlsht I was as big-as men. To see th 4 Town of After Ten; I’ve heard ’lt is so bright and gay, It’s almost like another day. But to my bed I’m packed oft 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 ’round. And do not dare to make a sound! Well, aoon I’ll be a man, and then I’ll see the Town of After Ten! ’ —Harper’s Magazine.
