The Gatepost Vol. 2.7: Rest In Peace

Description

"Rest in Peace
I wish I was a little rock A-settin’ on a hill;
A-doing nothing all day long, But just a-scttin’ still;
I wouldn’t eat, I wouldn’t drink, I wouldn’t even wash;
I’d set and set a thousand years And rest myself, by goshi
—Anon.
To the above, a commuter might add: I wouldn’t climb old Normal Hill;
I wouldn't study, read nor drill;
I wouldn’t rush for bus nor train, And if it rained, I'd let it rain I No hill to scurry down at night, With coat half on and hair a fright. I’d be so happy, settin' still— Just settin’ still on Normal Hill."
