Explore "Grimbles and the Gnad" by C.J. Dennis on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It was told me by a bushman, bald and bent, and very old, / Upon the road to Poolyerleg; and here's the tale he told. / 'Twould seem absurd to doubt his word, so honest he appeared / And, as he spoke, the sou'-west wind toyed gently with his beard.
"First it was the Grimble Grubs, / Which they et his ''taters; / An' all we buried in the end / Was Martin's boots and gaiters."
