Too Busy

Too Busy
217.1

I don’t want to ruh the kenity
It’s more pleasant, I allow
To set here in the grocery
An’ tell the other fellers how,
An’ say, “Dad guin ’em! things air wrong!
An’ kin tell ye why!”
I don’t keer to run the kentry:
I’d rather specchity.

Ef I wuz up in Washington
A runnin’ things, by gee!
Hank Watters ‘ud be settin’ yero
A findin’ fault ‘Ith me!
An’ now no one finds fault ‘Ith me
Exceptin’, mebbe, Sue
Cause I don’t work, but, dern it all.
I got too much to do.
E. J. Sparrow.
