RESURRECTION OF EPHRUM WAY
Old Uncle Ephrum Isaac Way
—He had a fit the other day.
A sort of capuluptic spell;
He hasn’t been in no ways well
Since year ago come next July;
He had a sunstroke; come blamed nigh
To passin’ ’crost. And since, for him,
The poor old man’s been dretful slim.
And ’twarn’t surprisin’ none, I say,
