A Rural Mistake



Girl a-byking
     Up the road;
Farmer coming
     With a load.
Girl in bloomers,
     Ankle thin;
Farmer “whoaed” up
     With a grin.
“Howdy dew sir,”
     Farmer said;
“Hers a chew sir,”
     Maid grew red.
Looked her over,
     “Well, I van;
Smallish legs them
     Fur a man.”
Maiden angry,
     Tosses curl;
“Sir! You’re beastly,
     I’m a girl!”
“Corn an’ blazes,
Gal? Wall say!”
Maid and bloomers
     Scorch away.
“Gal? Gosh swizzle,
     my ol’ hat!
Wish Semanthy’d
     Rig like that!”                                (litke)
