Originally written by J. H. Collins
I have recently arrived from an Alabamian locality.
With the primitive Ethiopian musical instrument,
generally known as the banjo, carefully
placed and gracefully reclining on that
portion of the pedal extremities, most
convenient, when the human frame assumes
a sedentary position.
I am about to proceed in a southern direction.
For the purpose of giving the beloved object of my
veritable affection, a personal inspection.
The pluvial emanations descended the whole
of the evening, at the diurnal period of my departure,
the terrestrial surface was was totally
deficent of moisture.
I uttered a valedictory ejaculation and announced
my intention of departure.
Susannah, abstain from weeping.
I therefore request as a particular favor, Susannah, that
you'll not allow your tears to descend on account
of my calamities.
I'm about to proceed in an Alabamian direction, wid de
primitive Ethiopian instrument, carefully placed, and
gracefully reclining on that portion of my anatomical
development, generally known, styled or denominated,
as the OS FEMORIS, but in plainer language, better
recognized by the appelation of my knee.
I had a nocturnal vision on a preceding evening.
When no re-verberation, produced by concussion was
audible in the surrounding atmosphere.
I perceived the personal resemblance of my Susannah,
descending the adjacent declivity in a circumnambular
and rotary manner.
The formation of farinaceous nutriment, was under-going
the process of mastication in her labial aperture.
The lacrymal effusion issued from the gland, and overspread
the cornea, produced by grief, was distinctly visible in her
optical perception.
I uttered a valedictory ejaculation, and announced my intention
of departure in a southern direction.
Susannah, abstain from weeping.
I therefore request as a particular favor, Susannah; that you'll not
allow your tears to descend on account of my calamities.
I'm about to depart in a Alabamian direction, with the primitive
Ethiopian musical instrument, denominated the banjo, carefully
placed and gracefully reclining on that portion of my anatomical
development, physiologically, phrenologically, scientifically,
dogmatically, medically termed the OS FEMORIS, but in
plainer language, known by as the apellation of my knee.
