Local
newspapers usually have a column titled something like “From The Past”.
Would you please keep an eye out for anything pertaining to Rural Free Delivery?
If something were published, would you be so kind as to make a copy and send it
on to me? I’d appreciate it! J
A KICKER ON THE ROUTE
An’
just put in one seat;
An’
then hitch up the old bay mare
What
has them two white feet;
An’
say, “You get away you kids,
You
can’t go ‘long with me,
I’m
goin’ to town to get the mail;
I’m
busy, don’t you see?”
When
Pa was gone the hired man
Would
go off for a smoke,
An’
tell us that he stopped his work
Because
his tools was broke.
Then
I’d go off fishin’,
Stid
of choppin’ that old wood,
An’
stay away for several hours,
When
the fish was bitin’ good.
But
now it’s all so different,
The
hired man doesn’t shirk,
And
before I go a-fishin’
I
have to do my work.
Now,
what’s the reason of it?
Why
any one can see
Pa
doesn’t go to town for mail;
We’ve
got the R.F.D.
