THE OF '21
. , .
Smoko and dust, fever and sweat,
The damndest season I've put in yet;
AU you caa hear, or think, or do,
Is fighting tire the season through.
All other work has gone to pot,
Our working .plans are completely
"shot." ,
(Suffering cats, will It never rain.)
My heart has a knock, my nerves are
frayed.
My stomach's gone, my feet aro
splayed, - .'
My eyes are dimmed from the
back-fire smoke-,
My lungs are sore, and by back Is
. broke. ' '. ,, ,.
(Out fcv the West, whero men are
. men,
It hasn't rained since Qod knows
when.) ..... ...
A column of smoke and a windy
lay ;
It mushrooms up and drifts away.
But under that pillar of pearly gray,
Is the same old fight in the same
old way.
Thirst and sweat, worry and grime;
She's jumped the line time after
. time
With a rip and a crackle, a
rumble and roar;
We call for help and try once moro.
(When winter comes, we won't be
sore! ) ,
The open spaces aro free and deep,
The mountain slopes aro long and
steep;
The darkling canyon and rocky peak
I've climbed them all, 'till my legs
are weak.
Scenery Is What some folks may
desire, ,
But It's rotten stuff on a forest
' flro. '
(Oh, sunny Cal. is a Joyful land;
It Is like H ! Ain't Nature
Brand!)
A holiday for mo would be.
On a, -southern laic In a balmy sea,
Where I could sleep, awd eat, and
shave, .
And bathe myself In the purple
wave;
In Its tropical rains with Its glad
, downpour,
I'd dream of the Summer of '24,
