THE CURSE OF PEDERGOGUE SCOTT.
That's a question I don't like ter speak of: How these pesky thistles come here; But, boys, if ye will listen attentervely, I will breathe a strenge tale in yer ear.
But afore I bergin I would warn ye, Ye may fix yer faces ter blush; So jist let thar be silence all around And I'll spin the yarn with a rush.
Ha! ha! ha! I larf when I think of it-- The days when a youngster I sat On a rough pine bench in the lorg school house, And din'd orf the rim of my hat!
The other boys war bigger than I war, And studied thar lesson right well, While I ermus'd myself as I wish'd ter In quar tricks on which I'll not dwell.
I war ter young ter learn my letters,-- They let me 'tend school for all that; And then when I run short of ermusement I jerk'd at the tail of the cat!
As I increas'd in years and mischief, Sich as hazin' our neighbor's pig, Pourin' ink on the floor, or applyin' Powder'd chalk ter the master's wig--
Richard Scott--that war the pedergogue's name-- Declar'd in wrath he'd be killin' Me, if I did not be quiet and sit Bertween ter gals--I war willin'!
Young as I war I lik'd that ye may swar On the hilts of yer bowie knives; And though but eight years I bergun ter sigh For a plurality of wives!
Now, Tip Tracey, ye may smile over thar At the picter I've painted you; But that gal-punershment of Richard Scott War a pleasure ter them gals, too!
