And then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play-

The only fun he had. I've heard them say, though,

They found a way to put a stop to it.

He was before my time-I never saw him;

But the pen stayed exactly as it was

There in the upper chamber in the ell,

A sort of catch-all full of attic clutter.

I often think of the smooth hickory bars.

It got so I would say-you know, half fooling-

"It's time I took my turn upstairs in jail"-

Just as you will till it becomes a habit.
