Simmering Summer

frown, will grumble when he
goes to town, and say the
weather then on deck is ruin
Gus to him, by heck. And if l
greet him with smile, and say,
"Such weather's worth our
while," he'll look upon the smil-
ing morn, and say, "It's killing
all the corn. If we don't soon
have lots of rain, our seasons
toll will be in vain" And if l
praise the passing wind, he
shows how grievously it's
sinned. That slipping, everlast-
ing breeze has spoiled my crop
of early peas. Doggone the
wind, that never stops; we need
calm weather for the crops y
"There was a heavy dew last
night" perchance I'll say, with
weird delight; "and when
looked around at dawn it seemed
that diamonds strewed the
lawn" Whereat the farmer
makes reply, "The summe,
nights should all be dry. The
dew that makes you feel so gay
has spoiled for me nine tons ot
hay. Said hay was drenched, a:
though by rain; the sight of il
gives me a pain" And thus al
summer do we hear the hus.
