I was born in old Ohio where its Hiils are high and steep, Where the principal industries are Laurel, fruit and sheep. 1 had roamed the hills and valleys From the time that I could walk, And had longed to be a poet From the time that I could talk. And often bad I slumber broke And rose at early dawn, To partake of nature’s diet, Which the poets feed upon. I loved the hills and valleys, And of their beauty longed to sing Their surroundings were delightful, But 1 couldn’t write a thing. Then I commenced to study And I got a notion queer, These literary microbes "Lurk within the atmosphere. So I came to Indiana, And as soon as I did land, I got a pen and tablet And could write to beat the band. The atmosphere was perfect, I was busy all the time. And everything I thought about. At once could put in rhyme. Then I read in Harjier's Weekly, Over in the Badger State. No poet there existed And I sought to emigrate. Sc ' -"ttled in Milwaukee, I thought no more to roam. My baggage came in transit, Mut the Muse had stayed at home. The microbe then forsook me. And to till my bitter cup, Pulsation started downward, And the fever started up. So I hiked for Indiana And when I hove in sight My pulse again was normal, And my pen began to write. o—— Democrat Want Ads Par.
