Tom Days Column
Our village Poet

Whenever it was Saturday, before my work
began
That is to say, long years ago, before was
a man,
1t used to be my keen delight, about this time
o. year,
Or maybe somewhat earlier, when warm
days first appear,
To get up in the morning, long before the
break OF day
And hurry to the market house that stood
across the way.
I'd find old Pete Morella there, the fruit an
produce man.
who was, as he would often say, "da gooda
'Merican,"
OF Pete
well, he'd be waitln' for me, an I'd climb up
on the seat
Beside him in the wagon, and we'd start for
Front and Dock,
Among the produce houses where he always
got his stock.
His horse was fat good-natured, strong an
patient like his master;
No whip not even dynamite, could make him
travel faster
An Pete he never tried at all, but let him
have his way,
An so we three would plod along without
word to say,
Except to call "good.mornin'" to a sleepy cop
or two
Or fellow servin' papers or some milkman
that we knew.
BY time we reached our journeys end an got
to Front an Dock
The day would just be breaSin' say, at maybe
4 o'clock
An there was nothin' then for little me to do
but roam
About the water front an wait for Pete to
start for home.
All! that's the time that fairyland was
opened up for me
An all my ships came sailing in from ports
across the sea,
An all the gales of Already were heavy with
the smells
Of tarry rope, bananas, coffee, tallow, oyster
shells,
Molasses, melons, leather, peanuts, oranges
and spice,
merchandise
That made each wharf an warehouse in the
city's longshore mart
Romantic an mysterious, u wonderland apart
To touch the boyish fancy an delight the
boyish heart!

when do
