and doodads of the kind: and as
l worked l used to think the

l should jump the store the
patrons would go there no more,
but follow where I went; they'd
ask the boss, "Where IS the lad
whose charms of manner made
US glad. Where is that joyous
CENT?" One day when | was
dreaming thus, the boss came
up, clammy cuss, and said,
Young man, you're fired; too
long this useful job you've held;
the way your fat young head is
swelled would make an image
tired" Oh, l was thunderstruck
and dazed, and f1abbergasted and
amazed, but when | got my
breath;/I SAID, Il DO not care
three whoops; that store will
straightway loop the loops-my
going means its DEATH" And
every time I passed along |
hoped to see things going
wrong, no customers on hand !;
alas, the custom did not stop,
but people galloped to that shop,
and bought to beat the band.
Since that adventure came to
pass feel l do not cut much
grass, or ice or wood or hay,
and l am humble as l toll; l
strive to make the kettle boil
without a grandstand play.
