James Whitcomb Riley - A Canary At The Farm
Work rating: Low

Folks has be`n to town, and Sahry
Fetched `er home a pet canary--,
And of all the blame`, contrary,
Aggervatin` things alive!
I love music-- that I love it
When it`s free-- and plenty of it--;
But I kindo` git above it,
At a dollar-eighty-five!

Reason`s plain as I`m a-sayin`--,
Jes` the idy, now, o` layin`
Out yer money, and a-payin`
Fer a willer-cage and bird,
When the medder-larks is wingin`
Round you, and the woods is ringin`
With the beautifullest singin`
That a mortal ever heard!

Sahry`s sot, tho`--. So I tell her
He`s a purty little feller,
With his wings o` creamy-yeller,
And his eyes keen as a cat;
And the twitter o` the critter
`Pears to absolutely glitter!
Guess I`ll haf to go and git her
A high-priceter cage `n that!
