Eugene Field.
NPEAKIN of dorgs, my benoh-iegged fyce

But, rouse his ambition he couldn't be beat
Yer bet he got thar on all his four feet
But the sports O. the field didn't bother much:
Wuz just plain dorg' an contcnted
Used to fiddle an squirm. and how nice!'
When tickled the back of that bencb-leeged fyce!
He long the bar'l like fyce cugkter be;
His color yaller as you see;
His tail, curln' upward. long, loose, an SLIM
When ne didn't It, why, the tail wagged him.
His legs crooked, my bench legged pup
Wuz as tall settin down as he WI. standin up!
He'd lie by the OF night regret
The various vtes an things he had et
When stranger. most like a tramp, along,
He'd lift up his voice in significant song
You wondered, By gum. how there wuz space
In that bosom O. his'n to hold SO much lass!
OF daytmes he'd sneak TO the road lie down.
An tackle the country dorgs comm to town;
BY common consent he boss in St Joe,
For what he took hold of he never let go
An dude that courtin left q slice
OF his white flannel suit with bench-lessed fycei
Or twisted his tail he would never iemur;
He seemed to enjoy all our play an our chaf
For his tongue nd hang out an he'd laf an he'd laRS
An when ;he Hobart boy fell through the
He drug clean ashore by that herch legged fyce!
We all hev choice an like the rest,
Alloy that the dorg which you've got is the best
wouldn't give much for the boy at grows up
With no friendship subsisn' tween him an rCp!
When fellow gifts old tell you its nice
To think of his YOUTH and his bench legged fyce!
TO think of the springtme way back in st. joe. =

TO thin of the play in the medder an
When little legs wrassled an little hans strovo;
