An' Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-Wheeze,

Seem-like, says to me: "See my bees

A-bringin' my dinner? An' see my cup

O' locus'-blossoms they've plum' filled up?"

An' "Um-yum, honey!" wuz last he said,

An' waggled his whiskers an' bowed his head;

An' I yells, "Gimme some, won't you, please,

Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum-Wheeze?"
