THOUGHTS ON GETTING dlud.~
HORACE FLY.
SomstiDuss called aORsE-F7y by ths boys.
FL should fly
Up ever so high,
I wonder IL
Would ever come down again
Released from care,
n Way up in the air,
My studies there
Would be blue, and not "brown" &C ain.
I am only Fly,
The 4th son Of my
Mother and i.
Saac Fly, who died years ago.
He took cold quite easy,
And his lungs got wheezy,
But his last words will please ye-
He dried up saying "Hers's CO."
Then went Senior Fly
Up into the sky;
He never said die,
But he went and executed IT,;
Upon the same plan
He played the sportsmas-
When a bird he did scan,
He didn't shout but he shooted It.
Thus did my dad;
But when he got mad
He behaved very bad,
For the Old Scratch got into him;
Still he was usually good natured
And regular featured,
SO ItIudle Creature
Incline up to shin to him
Having drinked life's cup
To the very last sup,
He Immediately went up,
And / conclude is contented there;
For don Z think he ID STAY
Where he felt ''in the way''-
AS he would IL his day
Down here was repented there.
I'm a chip OF his block,
Of the genuine Fly stock,
So il should flock
Up Into the armament,
think I'D remain,
And not wriggle with pain
Here; Cet me explain,)
Not wriggle, but sQxirnl, meant.
But CANNOT flock xp,
So let me lock up;
It's Of no use crying,
When we can't do anything about IL;
4 wish U | was rich,
And my mother was sich;
But no > So we re trying
To do as well as we can without it.
