I have jest about decided
It ‘ud keep a _town-boy_ hoppin’
Fer to work all winter, choppin’
Fer a’ old fire-place, like _I_ did!
Lawz! them old times wuz contrairy!–
Blame backbone o’ winter, ‘peared-like,
_Wouldn’t_ break!–and I wuz skeerd-like
Clean on into _Febuary_!
Nothin’ ever made we madder
Than fer Pap to stomp in, layin’
On a’ extra fore-stick, sayin’
‘Groun’hog’s out and seed his shadder!’
