Settin’ On The Horseblock

Settin’ On The Horseblock
1341

Settin’ on the horseblock,
Gazin’ at the sky,
Watchin’ of the little clouds
Satlin’ slowly by:

Settin’ on the horseblock,
List’nin’ to the bees
Dronin’ In the buckwheat flow’rs,
Pourin’ in the peas;

Settin’ on the horseblock,
Watchin’ on ’em hay:
Pitchin’ of the smelly grass
All the drowsy day:

Settin’ on the horseblock,
Waltin’ for my meals,
Viewin’ of the hazy hills,
Lookin’ crost the flol’s;

Settin’ on the horseblock,
Blinkin’ at the sun,
Jest a-meditatin’ on
Things I might ‘a’ done;

Settin’ on the horseblock,
Lazy as kin be,
Jest a-contemplatin’ on
What there is to see;

Settin’ on the horseblock,
Not a thing to do,
Chewin’ of a blade o’ grass,
Sizin’ up the view;
Settin’ on the horseblock,
Thinkin’ up this drool
‘Minds me of the poets of T
