The Mule

 The Mule 

The language of the magazines of the 1917 in The United States Of America was polite, respectful and official. Down below is the poem, a very serious verse of the American poet sir H.J, Waterford Conn. He presented his insights about the symbol of the animal- the mule- the Byblical symbol, which has never disappeared from the World Culture. The Chief Editor of the Magazine " The Spatula"- called this verse the poetic dissertation about the domesticated animal, which the mankind knows for more than two thousand years. The first time this poem has been published circa 1917 in the famous magazine of The United States Of America- "The Cottage Farmer".

The mule he is a funny sight, 
He's made of ears and dynamite, 
His heels is full of bricks and springs, 
Tornadoes, battering rams, and things. 
He's fat as any poisoned pup; 
It's just his meanness swells him up; 
He's always scheming 'round to do 
The things you most don t want him to.

The mule he lives on anything; 

He's got a lovely voice to sing, 

And when he lets it loose at noon,

 It sounds like buzz-saws out of tune. 

He stands around with sleepy eye 

And looks as if he d like to die, 

But when there's any dying done, 

It ain t the mule I ll bet a bun.

Some folks don't treat mules with respect, 

They say they ain't got intellect; 

That may be so, but if you've got 

To go to heaven on the spot, 

And want a way that doesn't fail, 

Just pull the tassel on his tail. 

The mule he tends to his own biz; 

He don t look loaded but he is.   

The verse is the ode to the animal of the Jesus, who brought him through the gates into the City Of Jerusalem. The proud working animal, loved and respected for thousands of years by the whole mankind. Even the popular Walt Disney loves this animal- the stories of Winnie The Pooh- the little mule has a tassel on his tail. A symbol of the Bible.

JOG ON, JEHOSAPHAT

  JOG ON, JEHOSAPHAT  

( By WH Stark, President Luther & Moore Lumber Co., Orange Tex)

Road gets rougher every mile;(cluck) 
Jog on, Jehosaphat, an show some style. 
Mule's gone lame, an' the hens won't lay;
Corn's way down an' wheat don't pay; 
Hogs no better, steers too cheap; 
Cows quit milking,meat won't keep; 
Oats all heated, spuds all froze; 
Fruit crop's busted, wind still blows; 
Sheep seem puny, an' I'll be durned 
Rye field's flooded an' the haystack's burned
Looks some gloomy, I'll admit-(cluck)
 Jog on, Jehosaphat we ain't down yit. 

Coal's in high an' crops in low; 

Rail rates doubled, got no show; 

Money's tighter, morals loose;

Bound to git us-what's the use; 

Sun's not shinin' as it should;

Moon ain't lightin' like it could;

Air seems heavy, water punk; 

Tests yer mettle; shows yer spunk; 

No use stoppin' to debate- (cluck) 

Jog on, Jehosaphat, it's getting late.

Wheels all wobble; axle's bent; 

Dashboard's broken, top all rent; 

One shaft splintered, t'other sags;

Seat's all busted busted, end-gate drags;

 May hang t'gether- b'lieve it will; 

Careful drivin' ll make it still; 

Trot-gosh ding ye-that's the stuff, 

Old trap's movin' right good speed- 

(Cluck) Jog on, Jehosaphat, You're some old steed. 

Road's smothed out 'til it don't seem true- (cluck) 

Jog on, Jehosaphat, you pulled us through.

 The vale of buried kings lies far below 

The vale of Jehosaphat through which flows the brook Kedron, lies between the City of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives. Here Jehosaphat was buried, and here the pillar of Absalom is shown .The Jews continue to throng to Jerusalem from various parts of the world with the view of reposing in this valley,         When death shall close their weary aching eyes-

 and they expect that in this place all the nations of the earth shall assemble on the morning of the resurrection.
