James Whitcomb Riley - Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-WheezeJames Whitcomb Riley - Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-Wheeze
Work rating: Low


Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-Wheeze   Lives `way up in the leaves o` trees.   An` wunst I slipped up-stairs to play   In Aunty`s room, while she `uz away;   An` I clumbed up in her cushion-chair   An` ist peeked out o` the winder there;   An` there I saw--wite out in the trees--   Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-Wheeze!   An` Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-Wheeze   Would bow an` bow, with the leaves in the breeze,   An` waggle his whiskers an` raggledy hair,   An` bow to me in the winder there!   An` I `d peek out, an` he`d peek in   An` waggle his whiskers an` bow ag`in,   Ist like the leaves`u`d wave in the breeze--   Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-Wheeze!   An` Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-Wheeze,   Seem-like, says to me: "See my bees   A-bringin` my dinner? An` see my cup   O` locus`-blossoms they`ve plum` filled up?"   An` "_Um-yum, honey!_" wuz last he said,   An` waggled his whiskers an` bowed his head;   An` I yells, "Gimme some, won`t you, please,   Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-Wheeze?"
