Poem by Ellis Parker Butler

Speaking of Operations

I know something wonderful—wonderful;
So strange it will quite startle you;
So strange and absurd and unusual
It seems it can hardly be true!

I know something wonderful—wonderful;
You’ll hardly believe it can be—
You know my appendix? Well, honest,
I’ve still got it inside of me!

1. The Poor Boy’s Christmas
2. To Jessica, Gone Back to the City
3. A Scotchman Whose Name Was Isbister
4. Ridden Down
5. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
