On the Spur ofthe Moment

The MINI with the Hoe.

Raked the meadow. sweet with hay.
Her stunt was nothing to our old

Who rakes tho back yard. rich in
cans;
Who's spent ten dollars and sixty
cents
For n noble array Of Implements
Who sallies forth at tho break of day.
To carry the ashes and bones away,
To clear space for his garden plot;
Time flies by. but ho minds 1t not
Our dads decided it surely pays
Our own young onions and such. to

And mother. with hidden meaning,

Allows that tho scheme is out of

But whom next mornings sun holds

He thinks he had better lay or n day.
He's got some business he surely
Attend to-day or the firm will bust"
And then, when tho third day rolls
around.
For minutes ten. he inspects tho
ground.
And grabs tho shovel and then tho
hoe
And works for half an hour or no.
The fourth day dawns both brieh,
and fair,
And he goes to SEQ IL his gardens
there
He's got no time 10 work it today.
For they need him in town. and right
away;
business is pressing. SO to speak.
We may not see him for most week.
He says that he really hates to 20.

And dad allows no must start In soon.
To do some hoeins and yank the

He's been a-bluhing us all the while.
And all of the homemade garden sass
we have is the kind our parents pass
At one another. most every day.
