In this issue VIC are continuing q
column which was started several
weeks ago containing some of the
poems from the book Down Yam
and ThereabOut" by George B. Ilyn-
son. Mr. HynsOn's wit and philosO-
/ ply of life were never more noticed
than in his poem. "The Tenant"
which is herewith reprinted:
The winter il came on SO severe
That he hauled up wood for to last
a year;
But he ran clean out ere the new
year come,
SO he stood in the snow while he
chopped up some,
His old hoss died and the COW went
dry,
And his pumpkins froze he had saved
for pie
1t got so cold that the fruit buds
died,
The frost killed them and the trees
beside;
But hc smiled and said: 81 am still
on top
With a right good chance for next
years crop"
His old pump frozc till it wasn't no
use:
II split wide open when he pricd it
loose,
So he tOted water for many a day
From his nearest neighbOr's some
distance away.
Then the thieves broke i'm and stole
his corn
And that was the night that the
twins were born,
And ofen he'd say so his wife could
hear;
well you cant be lucky through all
the year"
Then he'd take down his Bible and
read a verse,
And smile and say, 1T might be
wirse."
When spring came on though he felt
his loss,
He borrowed a plow and he borrow
ed hoss;
He planted some peas that never did
sprout.
So he hitched up the hoss and
plowed them out
