Hand Packed Peeve
Bp Bob KUm
Goldy Small, she isn’t tall
But dynamite for fair.
The pepper pot's not half as hot
When Goldy tears her hair.
To nurse a peeve. 1 do believe
That Goldy, she is tops.
With dirty look, she stamps her
foot.
Perhaps a button pops.
"Don’t tell me I have to know
It’s only forty-nine below;
j But I'll tell you. you ought to go
To a warmer place below.
; "A quart I pack! I break my back ■
For some d-mn silly lumber
jack!
1 want to scream, this d-mned ice
cream
Is frozen hard as H-ll!
“We hug the stove or freeze our
nose.
It’s H-ll to just keep warm!
! So eat ice cream, go on, be mean!
Some day you will reform.
“We have bricks; yes! For two
bits less!
Ba* I must dig and pry.
I gouge and twist and hurt my
wrist
So bad that I could cry.
“Chee-chaw-kerr-boobs, trans
planted rubes!
Km mad so I don't care.
I’m going ot start to swear.’’
