PARSoN jim.

In the wilds OF Arizona dwelt . shepherd
most devout,
His fold was OF adobe strong, so no ram might
break out;
Years before he'd been a gambler, but like
Saul had seen the light,
AZ expounder and exhorter he was simply out
OF sight.
He carried q asix-shootcr, q Bible and knife,
And his praying and his shooting were the
two Joys OF his life;
He could pink the ace Of diamonds at almost
any range,
And at poker he was handy at picking up
small change.
When he went for revival things were GER
tain to revive,
And the sinners OF that parish were in luck
to be alive;
He easily explained all the miracles by rote,
And his explain was final, of which all made q
note.
And when at last they buried him upon the
bleak hillside,
They carved upon a clean pine board In letters
deep and wide:
"This here is Parson Jim--tread softly, drop a
tear
An all around James Dandy--who reads his
title clear"
