Boxing Day!

In Great Britain, the first weekday after Christmas, a legal holiday on which Christmas boxes are given to Postmen, etc.

Oh! This boxspring bed
Provides me strange dreams!
The Queen has sent me a pair of Boxing gloves
And invited me for the feather weight Championship
The letter mentioned that I am a colonial friend.
I practised the whole night
And found the holes
On the boxboard wall
Early in the Morning!
