In tumblln' off stack,
Last week. it seems, but goodness

Twas mebbe twelve years back,
How sbeered l was twould Spite his
face,
Until the doctor came,
An set the blame thing back in place.
An golly! he was game!
An here he's in a cap and gown
A-gettin' a degree,
His forehead furrered in a frown
While lookn' down at nae.
A regular full-grown man he looks
BESIDES that dry ole dean,
An he has read more study books
Than | have ever seen!
He's able now to make his way
With all that college lore,
He told me only yesterday
He won't be helped no more.
I'm proud o him, but now an then,
In spite OF all he's did,
1 wish l had him back again.
a little helpless kid!
