This isn’t a story to put in rhyme—

Now is it?—And yet if the Lord saw fit

To make a giant and jest a bit

Right out here in our country-side

With every one seeing him far and wide—

Well it seems to me that a rhyme goes fine

For this pitiful, circus-like tale of mine—

Of giant Bob and his coming home

Never again with his shows to roam.

“He’s fadin’ out like a wisp o’ hay”
