fwo vine-street sportsmen sought for quail
Along Miami's fruitful vale,
But fortune smiled not on their chase,
And nary partridge showed its face.
At last they saw O sCare-crow stand,
With tapping rags and outstretched hand,
Upon stump. The sportsmen said

They banged and to their blank dismay
The scarecrow yelled and ran away,
While these two Nimrods fled for life,
Howllng: Lord, we've popped the farmers wife!"
