Pa\u2019s got back from his vacation,
    With a look that\u2019s wild and strange;
Seems all full of tribulation,
    Though he\u2019s had his rest and change;
For a year he had been wishin\u2019
    He could be alone somewhere,
So he spent his two weeks fishin\u2019,
    Far away from home and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has forty-seven places
    Where the hungry woodticks died;
And the color of his face is
    Like a piece of beef that\u2019s dried;
Both his feet are full of blisters,
    Insects nearly ate him up,
And last night he called my sister\u2019s
    Beau a pompous little pup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pa\u2019s got back from his vacation,
    Lookin\u2019 like a hungry tramp;
Once he nearly faced starvation
    When he strayed away from camp.
He must eat things predigested
    Till his health improves a lot;
Comin\u2019 home he was arrested
    For the only fish he got.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
