They ain't no style about 'em, / And they're sorto' pale and faded, / Yit the doorway here, without 'em, / Would be lonesomer, and shaded / With a good 'eal blacker shadder / Than the morning-glories makes, / And the sunshine would look sadder / Fer their good old-fashion' sakes,
I like 'em 'cause they kindo' -- / Sorto' MAKE a feller like 'em!
