Hoboed



“Just let me dine, the hobo said,
     “An’ den will I saw wood;”
The country woman sat him out
     A dinner that was good.
“The saw,” quoth she, “is in the shed,”
     “Excuse me, mam,” said he,
“I’ll saw it as I go along,
     By sayin’ nothin’, see?”

(saw – as in saying, maxim, proverb?)
