And when plain folks request - My autograph, then, throwin' out my chest, - I'llst make them wish that they wast great like me! - - I'm tired dwellin' midst surroundin's where - Cheap things art always waitin' to be done: - I'dst rather loaf and dream and have long hair - Like all great poets dost: and, oh! what fun, - To dash off lays and sell them, then and there, - Whenever I'llst be needin' any "mon." - - - - -THOUGHTS THOUGHT WHILST THINKIN' ABOUT MARY AND HER PET LAMB - - - Full oft I've read how Mary's lamb didst go - Where'er his kind and lovin' mistress went, - As if the little creature wast content - If it couldst only be where she wast. Oh, - I realize what madest it hanker so - To be in school that day: it surely meant - It loved her! Yet, that mean old teacher bent - On bossin' things--he didst not seem to know. - - Sometimes I get to wishin' I might be - A little lamb like Mary's, fond and true, - With Susan Sanderson as Mary, see? - We'd play amidst the clover sweet with dew, - And everywhere that she wast there'd be me, - And if she wasn't, I'dst be elsewhere, too. - - - - -LINES WROTE WHILST THINKIN' ABOUT HOW PA ACTS WHEN DRESSIN' UP - - - Whilst pa and ma art dressin' up to go - To church or somewhere, so I've heard ma tell - The neighbor women, pa tears 'round pell-mell - And turns things upside down, and wants to know - Who hid his clothes! and makes ma stop and show - Him where to find them. Ma she know'st full well - They're where he's kept them since he earnest to dwell - In our house: that's been twenty years or so. - - And when ma's donest her level best to try - To help pa so he wilt not fuss and fret, - And found his clothes, shoes, collar, cuffs and tie, - And there ain't nothin' more for her to get, - Pa looks at her and with an awful sigh - Says: "Thunderation! Ain't you ready yet?" - - - - -LINES WROTE WHILST REALIZIN' WE OUGHTST TO BE KIND TO DUMB BRUTES - - - Wise William Goat, familiarly addressed - As "Billy!" Thou art an amusin' brute, - For thou hast some traits that are truly cute - And others, still, so it must be confessed, - That I hast learned in sorrow to detest. - 'Tis fun to see thee, in thy manner mute, - When boys dost tease thee, give some one a "beaut," - Yet, he who's "it" deems thee a sorry jest. - - Yestreen I met some other boys, and we, - At thy expense, wert havin' much delight - Till thou got'st 'round to where I didst not see - That thou wast headed my way. Sorry plight! - That's why I write this standin'--woe is me!-- - And slept'st upon my bosom all last night. - - - - -SONNET WROTE WHILST THINKIN' OF OUR PARENTS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN - - - O Adam and O Eve! How very nice - It must have been to live where you wast at. - No neighbors anywhere with whom to spat, - Nor any one to give you free advice. - Ma says she'd gladly pay 'most any price - For such a lay-out. And she's certain that - Because there wert no servants in your flat - Is how you camest to call it "Paradise." - - And pa says that if Eve hadst dressed the way - Our women do we shouldst have missed the fate - Of goin' forth into the world to stray, - For she'd be somewhere, still, inside the gate - Delayin' things, as women dost to-day, - A-tryin' for to pin her hat on straight. - - - - -LINES WROTE WHILST SMARTIN' FROM PUNISHMENT RECEIVED FOR LYIN' - - - O Washington! (O Reader, hast thou not - In readin' high-toned poems wrote for show, - Observed how many of them start with "O?" - Well, anyhow, there is an awful lot.) - The noble deeds thou wrought'st are not forgot - But serve to make thy name, where'er we go, - A household word. If all they say is so - Thou didst some mighty clever stunts. That's what! - - And yet, thy fame belongest to thy dad; - Thou shinest by reflected light, forsooth, - For thou 'rt the only boy that ever had - A pa who, when his son dared tell the truth - About some kiddish prank didst not get mad - And lamm him! O thou heaven-protected youth! - - - - -THOUGHTS THOUGHT ABOUT MA'S NOTIONS REGARDIN' LOVE AND HOUSE-KEEPIN' - - - When sister Maymie saidst she'd like to learn - To sweep the keys of a piano-forte, - Ma she spoke up and cut her right off short - And saidst she'd rather that a girl of her 'n - Shouldst know just how to sweep a room, nor spurn - A poor but honest man, for that's the sort - Pa wast. And ma insists no woman ort - To spend more money than a man canst earn. - - A kid-gloved dandy with a stove-pipe hat - Wed ma's proud cousin. Say, but he wast sly! - "Our home shalt be next thing to Heaven!" That - Wast what he vowed. Ma says that that's no lie - For they art packed into a stingy flat - Four stairways up, and plumb against the sky! - - - - -THOUGHTS THOUGHT WHILST THINKIN' OF PEARY ON A HOT SUMMER DAY - - - O Peary! With the scorchin' summer here - And everybody payin' double price - For little weeny, teeny bits of ice, - It dost no longer seem so very queer - That thou shouldst have the bravery to steer - Thy ship up North where it is cool and nice. - I'll bet you smile whilst thinkin' thou hast twice - The fun we're havin' at this time of year. - - And, say! old boy, since thou dost understand - The pole is an imaginary spot, - Why not "imagine" thou hast found it and - Of time and trouble save an awful lot? - Couldst others track thee to that frozen land - And prove thou didst not find it? I guess not! - - - - -THOUGHTS THOUGHT WHILST THINKIN' OF A THANKSGIVIN' DAY TURKEY - - - O Eagle! emblem of my country, thou, - Who art the boss of every other bird, - My muse, to find the highfalutin word - With which to name thee, dost not know just how. - Yet 'tis not thee who hast, I must allow, - My patriotic breast the deepest stirred, - And they who planned our country's banner erred - In makin' thee the sign to which we bow. - - For whilst, O Eagle, thou dost dare to climb - The highest mountain peak and greet the sun, - It is the turkey that dost nearest rhyme - With all the lofty thrills that through us run; - He beats thee to a standstill every time, - For, stuffed and roasted--say! he takes the bun! - - - - -SONNET WROTE WHILST THINKIN' OF MY SISTER MAYMIE'S HOMELY BEAU - - - O Love! 'Tis saidst that thou art blind. Alas! - I didst not think that it wast truly so - Until I saw my sister Maymie's beau - Who's awful stingy and as green as grass! - How love canst make such guys as he is pass - For something beautiful, I dost not know. - Hadst I my way, you bet! he'd stand no show - Of settin' in our parlor wastin' gas. - - He steals things, too! Last night whilst in a nook - Of our dark hall I heardst him say: "Alack! - I must steal one!" This morn I went'st to look - And found'st all our umbrellas in the rack, - And so I guess whatever 'twast he took, - My sister Maymie madest him give it back. - - - - -LINES WROTE WHILST RECOVERIN' FROM AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A HORNET - - - O Hornet! When I think'st what thou canst do - To make strong men just hump themselves and run, - Men who wouldst boldly face a ten-inch gun - But lack the "sand" to halt whilst you pursue, - And deem'st thy stinger something they wouldst rue, - I've wondered if, when things that weigh a ton - Flee from thy wrath, thou dost not deem it fun - To chase folks that are so much bigger 'n you. - - Didst I accordin' to my size possess - The means for gettin' even thou dost own, - 'Twouldst be great sport to tackle--well, I guess!-- - A boy 'most any size, and hear him moan - As I didst when thou gavest me that caress - From something hotter than the torrid zone! - - - - -LINES WROTE ON A SUMMER DAY WHILST THINKIN' OF A SODA-FOUNTAIN - - - When I'm a man I shalt not care to be - The President of these United States: - I'dst rather be the drug-store clerk who waits - On people at the soda-fountain. He - Hast lots more first-class fun, it seems to me, - For whilst the public dost not get rebates - On soda, he canst get it at cut rates, - And lots of times, I'll bet, he gets it free! - - Of course, I know it must be pretty fine - To hear the brass bands and the big bass drums - Come marchin' by the White House all in line - And playin': "See, the Conquerin' Hero Comes!" - And, yet, no presidential job in mine: - The soda clerk's the one that gets the plums! - - - - -LINES WROTE AFTER BEIN' SCOLDED FOR NOT DOIN' AS CHILDREN USED TO - - - I yearn'st to live to be ten times as old - As wast Mathusalem, the patriarch: - Then when some older person durst remark: - "When I wast young the children weren't so bold - And always loved to do as they wert told, - And went to bed soon after it wast dark;" - I'llst say to him: My errin' friend, now hark - To one who wilt no longer hear thee scold: - - I knew thy great-great-great-grand-parents when - They wert sly youngsters vexin' their poor nurse, - And children now art good as they wert then! - They always have been stubborn, mean, perverse, - And always wilt be, since, alas! like men, - They're just as heaven makes them--only worse! - - - - -LINES WROTE ON READIN' HOW CLEOPATRA MADE MEN ACT VERY FOOLISH - - - To-day I readst in an old history book - How Cleopatra used to make men do - Just any fool thing that she wanted to - By givin' them a "lovey-dovey" look. - Time wast, long, long ago, when I'dst have shook - My head and saidst the story wast not true, - But that, alas! that wast before I knew - Miss Susan S. who hast my fancy took. - - To-day I hadst an apple I'dst have not - Let any boy in school taste, but when she - Asked couldst she have a bite and took a lot, - I didst not mind at all, for, oh, to me, - Where she hadst bit hadst somehow made the spot - Taste awful sweet! Thus dost love rule us. See? - - - - -SONNET WROTE WHILST THINKIN' WHAT I WOULDST DO WITH CARNEGIE'S GOLD - - - O Great Carnegie! With thy wealth, oh, my! - I dost not know exactly what I'd do, - But seem'st to me I'd have more fun than you - Art havin' with it. Anyhow, if I - Hadst money, as they say, "to burn," I'd try - To burn it here, for, oh! 'twouldst make me blue - To think I'd have to smell it burnin' through - The endless eons of the by and by! - - And you can bet if I hadst gold in bins - As thou hast got, in quantities so vast - Thou canst not spend it, I'd buy diamond pins - And soda water to the very last! - And I'd be sorry that I wast not twins - So I couldst spend my fortune twice as fast. - - - - -SOME THOUGHTS THOUGHT WHILST HAVIN' TO BATHE IN A BATH-TUB - - - I don't like bathin' in a bath-tub. Say! - It's no more like a good old swimmin'-hole - Where you can dive right in and splash and roll - Or anything you please, than work's like play! - Some afternoon of a hot summer day - When thou from school and poky things hast stole, - Oh, ain't it good for heart and brain and soul - To plunge right in and swim your own sweet way? - - I pity folks who bathe where they must wear - A bathin'-suit! I wouldst have none in mine. - Give me a good old shady corner where - Nobody's lookin'. That's what I call "fine!" - And when I bathe in this sawed-off affair, - The swimmin'-hole's the thing for which I pine. - - - - -LINES WROTE IN SCHOOL WHILST THROWIN' GLANCES AT SUSAN SANDERSON - - - "Oh, what is love?" the poet asks. I guess - I'dst better tell him. When a girl's cheeks seem - As fascinatin' to you as ice-cream, - And though snub-nosed and freckled, more or less, - She's still the phantom of pure loveliness - That ever and anon athwart your dream - Comes stealin', whilst you scheme and scheme and scheme - To be where she is, thou 'rt in love! Oh, yes! - - When you keep thinkin' how you'dst squeeze her hand - If sometime thou couldst be her little glove, - And if thou feelst that thou wouldst like to stand, - With only just the frosty stars above, - In some big snowdrift 'neath her window and - Stay there forever, then thou art in love! - - - - -THOUGHTS THOUGHT WHILST MOWIN' THE LAWN ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON - - - O Circus Day! So very brief art thou, - From early morn when first doth rise the tent - Till midnight comes and all the show hath went; - Thou 'rt like a swiftly passin' dream. Oh, how - I wish the laggin' tasks that wet the brow - With per-spi-ra-tion (sweat is what I meant) - Would haste as thou dost haste. How different - This world wouldst be from what we find it now! - - Or 'twouldst be better still if time wouldst pass, - Whilst laughin' at the antics of the clown, - As slow as run'st the sands within the glass - Whilst I, 'neath sun that almost melts me down, - Must mow the lawn. O Fate, why must, alas! - Thy smile be so much shorter than thy frown? - - - - -SONNET WROTE ON THE FLY-LEAF OF MY GRAMMAR DURIN' SCHOOL HOURS - - - O Education! Maybe thou art all - Our teachers tell us, but just let me say - That if my folks wouldst let me have my way, - From early Spring till frost comes in the Fall - I'dst be outdoors, you bet! a-playin' ball - Or otherwise enjoyin' each fine day. - It seem'st a shame for boys to have to stay - Like culprits shut in by a prison wall! - - I guess if you get rich folks wilt not care - If you don'tst know your grammar to a T, - For baby boys, you'llst find 'most everywhere, - Art named for uncles who hast money, see? - Though they hain'tst got no learnin' they canst spare - Nor never spell their 'taters with a p. - - - - -THOUGHTS THOUGHT ON HEARIN' FOLKS FIND FAULT WITH THE WEATHER - - - I love cold winter weather with the snow - A-driftin' on the walks I hast to clear, - And frost a-bitin' nose and cheek and ear, - With the thermometer "away below." - I also love the summer when it's so - Red-hot that clothes next to you all "adhere" - And everybody's frantic, pretty near, - And sayin' things that hot folks dost, you know? - - I love both seasons, but I wish I could - Enjoy them whilst they're with us, for, you see, - It's winter when the summer seem'st so good, - And summer when the winter pleases me. - But, somehow, I have never understood - Why either of them whilst it's here's "n. g." - - - - -LINES WROTE AFTER SEEIN' SHAKESPEARE'S HAMLET FROM AN UPPER GALLERY - - - O Shakespeare! Thou whom'st all the world dost think - Hast written some good things, I, too, wouldst pay - My best respects to thee; yet, wouldst I say - That whilst I like thee yet I dost not shrink - From tellin' thee that thou art on the "blink" - And very sadly out of date to-day. - Still, if thou'lt follow my advice thou may - Still count as one of us, and get more "chink." - - Your plays ain't any good the way they stand: - Thou ought'st to tone them up with something nice: - Some coon-songs, fire-engines, blood-hounds and - A swingin' bridge and chunks of floatin' ice - Wouldst make your old plays draw to beat the band, - And folks wouldst crowd your show at any price! - - - - -SONNET WROTE WHILST RETROSPECTIVELY CONTEMPLATIN' MY FIRST CIGAR - - - Oh, woe is me! and other things like that! - Yestreen I soughtst to smoke my first cigar: - It gav'st my system a tremendous jar! - I didst not have the gumption of a gnat. - All night I couldst not tell where I wast at. - I wish I knew just what those cheap smokes are; - It seem'st to me they're made of glue and tar. - Ah, me! I'm weaker than a half-starved cat. - - Oh, let them smoke henceforth, say'st I, who will, - For who am I that I shouldst dare condemn - Their vile tobacco? I have hadst my fill: - Let others have it; I sha'n'tst envy them, - For I'llst not never smoke no more until - I'm ten times older than Mathusalem! - - - - -SONNET WROTE WHILST THINKIN' ABOUT A VACATION SPENT ON A FARM - - - O Farmer, independentest of all - Mankind art thou! I know, because, last year - I spent my whole vacation, pretty near, - On Uncle Eben's farm, and though I'm small, - I hoed the corn and beans, and helped him haul - And stack his hay. I'dst work until I'dst fear - I'dst just drop down and end my sad career - Before they'dst give the welcome dinner call. - - My uncle dost not weigh his words with care, - For once he told me that I wast a shirk; - But I wouldst rather breathe the country air - Than be a shut-in office-boy or clerk; - For I found out whilst visitin' out there - That I like farmin', but I hate farm work. - - - - -LINES COMPOSED AFTER SEEIN' A BOOK FULL OF BYRON'S LOVE LETTERS - - - One reason why I'm 'most afraid to get - So famous like we poets always do, - Is that they'll print my spoony letters, too, - As is the way with all of us who let - Our fancies caper. Hadst I thought whilst yet - Unknown, I'dst be a poet, quite a few - Endearin' words with which I soughtst to woo - More girls than one I'dst not have wrote, you bet! - - If Susan Sanderson shouldst find I sent - The valentine I saidst I wrote for her - To Jane Jones, too, the thirty cents I've spent - For soda water's wasted, I'dst infer: - Why must we poets do things we'll repent? - And oh! why thus didst me and Byron err? - - - - -SONNET WROTE AFTER HEARIN' A YOUTH ORATIN' ABOUT "CASABIANCA" - - - O Boy, that stood'st upon the burnin' deck - And gotst thyself in our school readers and - The "Whoop-'er-up" school speakers of our land - Because thou wouldst not leave that sinkin' wreck, - Oh, don'tst thou think if thou hadst saved thy neck - And wisely cut and run to beat the band, - Thou couldst have later done things still more grand? - Alas! too soon didst death thy valor check! - - Oh, didst thou stay because thou couldst not swim? - Or wast it fame for which thy heart didst yearn? - Of course thou gotst a name time canst not dim, - But seemst to me that all I canst discern - In thy foolhardy, stickin'-to-it whim - Is that thou deemed the world hadst boys to burn. - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's Sonnets of a Budding Bard, by Nixon Waterman - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK SONNETS OF A BUDDING BARD *** - -***** This file should be named 41216.txt or 41216.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/4/1/2/1/41216/ - -Produced by David Edwards, Matthew Wheaton and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This -file was produced from images generously made available -by The Internet Archive) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.
