Now the colt is gayly skipping
Where the happy zephyrs zip,
And his accomplishing mother
Stands aside to let him skip;
With a blissful satisfaction
Now and then he -Roists MS heels,
And a dozen times an hour
Stops a while to take his meals.
-, ~ .,,ass,.t L. .saaw .hat..men are "
ing bleeding in the bitches.
And he isn't causing trouble by his
greed for worldly riches;
Not care Is on his mind
AS he rises up behind
And permits his lengthy legs to lightly
dangle in the wind.
Oh, the spotted calf is Juggling
At its rope, behind the shed,
And displaying wild Impotence
And imploring to be fed
Now the farmers wife approaches
And she bears a Drumming pail,
There's a frisk of satisfaction
In the baby bossy's tail;
with his nose he bumps the bottom
and he sends the bubbles flying
And he skins the lady's knuckles and
she cuffs him, sadly signing.
But the bossy bumps away.
Knowing not that men today
For little shining metal steal and
strive and scheme and slay.
Oh. the lambkins gayly frolic
In the seven-acre lot.
With their lunches always ready
To be taken on the spot,
And the pig that went exploring
Sadly runs along the fence
And is sending up protest
That is mournful end immense.
While his brothers and his sisters,
with unbounded satisfaction,
Turn and line up In their places and
forthwith get into action.
Caring nothing for the old
Worldly struggles after gold
In the markets where mems honor and
their lives are bought and sold.
