<h3><SPAN name="TASTE" id="TASTE"></SPAN>TASTE</h3>
<div class="cpoem1"><p>
I can't understand why you pass up the toys<br/>
That Santa considered just right for small boys;<br/>
I can't understand why you turn up your nose<br/>
At dogs, hobby-horses, and treasures like those,<br/>
And play a whole hour, sometimes longer than that,<br/>
With a thing as prosaic as daddy's old hat.<br/>
<br/>
The tables and shelves have been loaded for you<br/>
With volumes of pictures—they're pretty ones, too—<br/>
Of birds, beasts, and fishes, and old Mother Goose<br/>
Repines in a corner and feels like the deuce,<br/>
While you, on the floor, quite contentedly look<br/>
At page after page of the telephone book.<br/></p>
