Work rating:
Low
Drunk or sober Uncle Jim
Played the boy;
Never glum or sour or grim,
Oozin` joy.
Most folks thought he was no good,
Blamin` him;
But where kiddies were, you could
Bank on Jim.
Sure he allus hated work,
Lovin` play.
"Jest a good fer nuthin` jerk,"
Lots would say.
Yet how the children fell for him,
Whooped with glee:
Guys so popular as Jim
Seldom be.
How old songs, sweet as a bell,
He would sing!
What grand stories he would tell,
Gesturin`!
Elders reckoned him a sot,
Sighin` sad;
But with tiny toddlers what
Sport he had!
Might have had a brood, they said,
Of his own;
Lost his wife in childbirth bed,
Left him lone . . .
Well, now he is cold an` still,
Here`s to him:
Kids an` mothers always will
Bless old Jim.
