Rustic Verse


                                                (Contributed by Ezra Hopkins)


House cleanin’ days are nearly over.
Bees are out a-huntin’ clover.

Down by the bridge is pussy willer.
I still am taking sassperilla.

Woodchucks is out, first uv the season.
I ain’t caught one, you know the reason.

Dad he finished his planitn’ pertaters.
Sal hez brought home a pair er new gaiters.

Jones’s ol’ dorg killed two uv our chickens,
When dad finds it out he’ll git the dickens.

Ternight I’m goin’ ter hang a Maybasket.
Wish she would chase me, but wouldn’t dast ask it.
