Eldermont Picnic.
At Eldermont on Saturday
They had a picnic, so they say
.Ai;a.you must hear what there was
done
From two o’clock till set of sun.
Tho hundred people gather^ there—
Tiiey seemed, to come; from everywhere
Tiie children came .by every road,
-And young folks by the wagon load.
They brought alo;.g the babies too.
To see what folks at picnics do.
The Children first, must have th"ir
rour.dt.
We ail stood back to give them
■ ground.
They spoke their pieces clear and
strong, .
Ti'.en joined together in a song.
Next came the time to play baseball
Ti'.t boj-s from Alamance had come
To challenge us right here at home.
Me know the game, we've got the
stuff.
They said that day they had enough.
Wt gave them cake we gave them
chicken,
\\’t also gave them a good licking,
tor v.hat it takes to up and swat it,
Oid Eideimont has surely got it.
When Ed McPherson took the stick
He hit it .--uch a mighty lick
Up hit for sure he hit to kiii
-Ai.d knocked the cover orf the pill
Tiler, here he comes for his home run
And all the girls squealed Mc-Pher-
son.
0:.e fellow thought that he had won
.Ar.d smashed a liner for a run
But Jennings Brj-ant jumped up high
.'nd snatched it down out of the s’sy.
They got a drive but twant no use
I'or Lester Sharpe takes no excuse.
They run us that day near to death
\V'. sc«.*red till v.-e were out of *..re:ith.
We si'cred ’iiout thirty four to four
Anri could have made it several more.
Xuw whiie the game was being play
ed
-•i crowd was courting in the snade.
Next, "Come to Supper,” and that
table,
Mailc the feeble think,he’s aiile
.'■irefched way yonder In the shade —
Wiiat a eiglit that table made.
Chicken brov>-n piled in the dish,
Aiiyihing that you could wish.
There tai'e calces and custards in*
\f'plc pies, .:ix stories high.
-And there wc saw a lovely thing—
The preacher with a chicken win"
Walked clear around the whole lay
out,
Go:;:g in and coming out.
Taking here and tasting there
.And complimenting «verywhore,
Sri.iling as the people parted
Till he got back where he started.
i\ext ivatermelons. Oh, my Ufa;
Ki'ach in there and get the knife.
CL’t this big one and how nice
Coinf up now and “et your -;5ice.
Some bragged that Brother Sharp’.=
were sweeter.
And better suited to the eater.
Brother Loy not to be out done
Cut till he opened' twenty-one.
Then the joking time begun
A-saying things and making fun
A.nd Lyddy smiled and made a dimple
Tiiat made her fellow look right .sim
ple,
.A.nd when she dared him lo begin
He couldn't do a thing but grin.
We pranked and played and talked
and tarried,
Tir. Earn forget that he was married
—Well, parting time had now drawn
near,
Buc we’ll be back again nest year.
