Robert W Service - Child LoverRobert W Service - Child Lover
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.
