Uncle Joe and Aunty Mabel

	To the tune of "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" Rowland Berthoff, professor of history, emeritus at Washington University, St. Louis, sang a two-stanza version of this:

Hark, the herald angels sing,
"Beecham's Pills are just the thing,
Move you gently, meek and mild,
Two for man and one for child.
	Regular administration,
	Just the thing for constipation.
	How can man to art aspire
	If his soul is not on fire?"
		Hark, the herald angels sing,
		"Beecham's Pills are just the thing."

Uncle George and Auntie Mabel
Fainted at the breakfast table.
Let this be sufficient warning:
Never do it in the morning.
	Ovaltine soon set them right;
	Now they do it every night.
	Uncle George is planning soon
	To do it in the afternoon.
		Uncle George is planning soon
		To do it in the afternoon.
	
	Berthoff learned the first verse at Oberlin College, Ohio, in 1940, and the second from Meredydd Evans, a Welsh folk singer, in 1955.
