My Lot Around"
t With Protoumd Apolofm tk Imaortol nUua) Oawg")
It Beems to me, about every day ,f "!
Some different surveyor comes 'round hiy way, . .
. He seta his stakes, runs oat his Ifaje, -
' flakes another survey (just the hundredth time),
He starts at the Bank, comes down by my store.
-Says, "John, Move your lot back two jmches more,"- " .
If I could only know which was my ground,
I'd make them quit moving my lit around.
Last week to the South one Inch movqd I,
This week one said, "John, two inches! northward try."
I've done all these, the best I can, J
And am now Waiting for the nextjsurveyorman
TO come around with his figures fair, I ;
And say "John I've now found your fop is in the air."
,'t If such a location could be found
They'd HAVE'to quit moving my lot around. ;.
This week I thought a different plan I'd try
And locate my lot somewhere betwixt, land and sky,
So one quarter inch f moved to the WesC,
Thinking the last surveyor certainly knew best.
But on the next day, loand behold. - -
. Another surveyor came and to me he told ,
Without any fears as to whom he should face, , '
That my lot and MY STORE were in the right place. ,
So no matter where they move my lot .
WELLINGTON'S STORE is still at the same old spot, '.
Where oft before youTve always found, "
' The best grade of merchandise in this town,
You also know I'll do my share, ' .
Good goodslow prices, things on the square.
And if no more surveyors can be found,
I hope I'm through MOVING MY LOT AROUND. "
