Festus’ Friends
Things seemed all calm in Dodge and so
Old Festus figured that he’d go
To Long Branch; and, someone with doe
Might buy a drink or two for him. . . .
As Doc was sipping from the brim,
Said Festus, “Doc, now ain’t ye prim
A-sippin’ et tare yaller drank
Lak hit’s a cup o’ tea. Ye’d thank
Thet hit wuz tastin’ mighty rank.”
Doc said, “For that, buy your own brew
Or go and find a friend or two . . .”
“Why, ye ol’ scudder, what’s wid you?”
Said festus; “I hain’t gotta find
No friens! Why, I’ve got half a mind
Ta finish makin’ ye go blind:
I orta knock ye off thet stool!
I got me friens, ye on’ry fool:
Thar’s Matthew . . . Then, thar’s et tare mule . . . “
