EBENEZER-GRAMS: 1. EBENEZER'S PROBLEM, by                    
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!
