James Whitcomb Riley - Old Winters On The FarmJames Whitcomb Riley - Old Winters On The Farm
Work rating: Low


I have jest about decided     It `ud keep a _town-boy_ hoppin`     Fer to work all winter, choppin`   Fer a` old fire-place, like _I_ did!   Lawz! them old times wuz contrairy!--     Blame backbone o` winter, `peared-like,     _Wouldn`t_ break!--and I wuz skeerd-like   Clean on into _Febuary_!     Nothin` ever made we madder   Than fer Pap to stomp in, layin`   On a` extra fore-stick, sayin`     "Groun`hog`s out and seed his shadder!"
