We reminded of Henry Howard Brownel1's
Did poem, which runs like this:
AS vonce walked by a dismal swamp,
There Old Cove in the dark and damp,
And at everybody passed that road
stick a this Old Cove throwed
And venever he flung his stick his stone,
He'd set up song of "Let alone"
Let me alone, for loves to shy
These bits of things at the passers by;
Let me alone, for I've got your tin
And lots of other traps snugy in;
Let me alone I'm riggin boat
To grab votever you've got afoat;
In week so l expects come
And turn you of your ouse and ome-
I'm quiet Old Cove" says he With groan;
"All axes s-Let me alone"
Just then came along, the self-same way,
Another Old Cove and began for say:
Let you alone! That's comm it strong!
You've ben let aone-a darned sight too long!-
Of all the that l heard!
Put down that stck (You may we'll look skeered)
Let go that stone. If you show fight
I'll knock you higher than airy kite.
you must hev lesson stop your tricks
And cure you of shyng them stones and sticks,
And I'll hev my hardware back and my cash.
And knock your into tarnal smash
And if ever l catches you round my ranch
I'll string you up to the nearest branch
The best you do is to go to bed
And keep decent tongue in your head;
For I reckon, before you and l are DONE
You'll wish you had let honest folks alone"
The Old Cove stopped, and t'other Old Cove
He sot quite still in his cypress grove
And he looked at his stick, revolvin' Slow
Vether 'twere safe to shy it or no.
And he grumbled on, in an injured tone
"All that axed vos Let me alone"
