A Potato, Corn Stalk. a Wind
Mill, an Ok Cart, Cabbage, a
Clock, Tulip and a Buck Saw were
Disputing as to which of Them was

gouged out, the Corn Stalk had an
Ear Chawed off, the Wind Mill sus-
tanned a Dislocation of the Elbow
of one Of its Arms, the Ok Carts
Tongue was Bitten off, the Cabbage
was snatched Baldheaded, the Clock
lost the Trigger Finger of his right
Hand, the Tulip blistered her Lips
with Cuss words, and the Buck Saw
was Smitten with the Toothache,
thus Rendering themselves utterly
Useless to Society or any other
Man.
