EBENEZER-GRAMS: 1. EBENEZER'S PROBLEM, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS First Line: With unkel eben weepin' Last Line: And learn him how ter fly! Subject(s): Death Valley; Farm Life; Agriculture; Farmers | ||||||||
With Unkel Eben weepin' We orter heave a sigh Fer his livestock's a dyin' List ter the reason why. Wher Unkel Eb is livin', They laid cerment between His barnyard and his cabin Wher wunst the grass wus green. And now ther is no passin' With autos whizzin' by; His hungry cows is cryin' While pigs grunt in ther sty. He wants ter cross and feed 'em 'Tis death ter even try. We shud buy Eb an airship And learn him how ter fly! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...KICKING THE LEAVES by DONALD HALL THE FARMER'S BOY: WINTER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND ANTHEM by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS |
