The Transformation of a Texas Girl
Her tall and lanky father, one knows as " Sleepy
Jim,"
Is now addressed as Colonel by men who honor him; And youths in finest raiment now take him by the paw,
Each in the hope that some day he'll call him dad- in-law.
Their days of toil are over, their sun has risen at last,
A gold-embroidered curtain now hides their rocky past;
For was it not discovered their little patch of soil Had rested there for ages above a flow of oil? James Barton Adams. |
