How gladly | welcome the
verdant spring onion, that sheds
DER my garden its capable
breath. It's good fer my cold
or to poultice my bunion, and
helps to postpone when I'm
flirtin' with death! It's virtues so
rare, that I gladly repeat 'em,
although they are easy and well
understood,-I challenge the
strongholds of science to beat
'emi in uplift, exclusion, perfum7
cry and food! What matter if
friends an companions forsake
me, or face t'other way when |
foot my bazoo? Of course I'll
repent-if my sins overtake me,
and set by myself in far
corner pew. Let neighbors
insult me by holdin' their noses,
and hintin' that ''polecats is on
the increase"-the onion don't
smell like the ottar of roses, but
she lends her admirers content
ment and peace! And, while |
am keerful in idyll and lyric,
and deity avoid any statements
that clash-I'm quick to repel
any mental hysteric that enters
my kitchen an fools with my
hash!

Twelve years later he was gen
