    The clock hands said, "Old Jim's late."

    Pointing like that, to half past eight.

    Thirty-three years, there or about,

    Before the hands turned eight

    I'd have the old board out,

    Pull up the other chair and wait,

    Look out past the porch light —

    Watch Jim kick my gate.

    Swift kick, clean through —

    Left foot halfway to my door;

    Gate, hidden in the fence pots,

    Closed no more 'Til I, some errand to run,

    (The number living here but one)

    Returned to mouth its squeaking tongue.
