Replying, they said, "Surely- i-f from
”, those you’ve lived among
You’ll pick two legal voters, not for
eigners nor floaters;
Who’ll stvçar that they have known
you for a score of years, OK.”
But their next reply, Oh Brother! "Did
your father or your mother
Leave a record of their birth, thé place,
the year, the month,1 thè day.”
The task is never ending, the certifi-
cate’s still pending.
I’ve sent ancestral records of English,
Irish, .Scot.
Nothing in my family history is now
to them a mystery;
I’ve gone, almost back to Solomon’s
time but it avails me naught.
I have bitt a single worry as through
this world I scurry;
But that worry haunts each moment
from the dawn till jclose of day.
When Old Gabriel blows his trumpet
and says, "Time for you to hump it.”
Will they haie to have that ,record
to lay me ’neath the clay?
— C. C. "Tom ” Long,
John Day Chapter No. 13.
To cure the blight of age.
And when a native’s youth . has fled
And age has sapped his vim,
They simply knock him on the head
And make an end of him.
But we in this enlightened age
Are made of sterner stuff |
W
And so we look with righteous rage
On ways so crude and rough.
And when /a man is old and gray
And weak and short of breath,
We simply take his job away
And let him Starve to death.
