The Old Tramp

Title:     The Old Tramp
Author: James Whitcomb Riley [More Titles by Riley]

A Old Tramp slep' in our stable wunst,
An' The Raggedy Man he caught
An' roust him up, an' chased him off
Clean out through our back lot!

An' th' Old Tramp hollered back an' said,--
"You're a _purty_ man!--_You_ air!--
With a pair o' eyes like two fried eggs,
An' a nose like a Bartlutt pear!"

[The end]
James Whitcomb Riley's poem: Old Tramp
