But the climate’s getting mixed,

And it’s spilin’ very rapidly with warmness as I fear.”

Spoke Mister Aaron Bland,

“I perceive on yonder land

That sugar-cane is bloomin’, correctly, all in rows,

And not to make allusions

To Republican delusions,

But the niggers air a-gettin’ all around as thick as crows.”

Still we sat there mighty glum

Till along a fellow come.
