9 "You look just like an owl," she said, "Your company I shun, sir; You may eat your plums and suck the stones. For I am going to run, sir."
10 Away Katy heeled it over the plain, And left me here distracted;
I ripped, I swore, my shirt I tore, To think how I had acted,
11 About three months from that day Kate and I got married.
And about three months after that A lovely son she carried,
12 It's time to hush up foolish song, It?s time to quit all rhyming; But ever5 time this baby squalls, Begod, I think of climbing. |
