WHEN THE GREEN GITS
BACK IN THE TREES!

v « ✓ i
In spring, when the green gits back i
in the. trees,
And the sun. comes out and stays, i
And yer boots pulls on with a good
tight squeeze,
And you think of yer barefoot days;
When you ort to work, and you!
want to not,
And you and yer wife agrees,
It's time to spade up the garden lot.
When the green gits back in the
trees—
Well! work is the least o' my idees
When the green, you know, gits
back in the trees!
—James Whitcomb Riley.
