Of angels’ wings, an’ think, and gawp,

An’ wonder how they made ’em flop.

He’d calkerlate how long a skid

’Twould take to move the sun, he did;

An’ if the skid wuz strong an’ prime,

It couldn’t be moved to supper-time.

An’ w’en his wife ’d ask the lout

If he wouldn’t kinder waltz about

An’ take a rag an’ shoo the flies,

He’d say, “I’ve gotter flosserfize.”
