The Incubator.

Not maDy moons ago
A iancher that you know,
To readers OF the Press
He is no Stranger
Had laudable ambition
To better bis condition
Az should every other
Entsrpr sing granger.
This progressive Dp-to-da'er
Bought nice new incubator
Guaranteed TO do the work
AT less expense,
As dandy little hatch it
There was nothing that could match it
SO the dominecker hen
Sat on the fence.
1t was nicely adjusted.
And could always be trusted,
Unlike so many OF it's
Imitators,
1t would work as slick as grease
Far eurpassing dux or geese
Chickens, crows, snipes, snakes or
Aligators.
This enterprising granger
he who is not stranger
Felt sure it would be
Successfully operated,
But he made the sad mistake
That many people make
BY counting chickens before
They're incubated.
In the wood-house he set it
Where the coyotes couldn't get it
And filed it with eggs of
Choice selections.
There was nothing more to do
But before he withdrew
He adjusted it according
To directions.
That night while fact asleep
Saving gourds" loud and deep,
Sweetly dreaming while
Peacefully reposing,
An explosion like thunder
Caused him to wake aud wonder
And investigate in
Abbreviated clothing.
When the investigator,
Looked for the incubator,
He did not see it
Anywhere OF all;
He was thoroughly disgusted.
The pesky thing had busted
Eggs and chickens were
Spattered on the wall.
When the incident occurred
Our friend said not word
But his thinker thVnk
Many thoughtful thinks.
No more incubators
No measly sggravators,
The old dominecker hen is good
Enough for Jinks.
