From the Evening Star, April 15, 1913.By Philander Johnson.
Whenever Jabez Jones takes hold
Of anything at all
We find he cannot be controlled
In matters great or small.
He hollers and he waves his hands
And sometimes he gets cross
While issuing his loud commands.
He has to be the boss.
He isn’t much at chopping wood
Nor with a rake or hoe.
His judgement isn’t very good
And his results are slow.
But time is precious. It is clear
We shouldn’t risk its loss.
So long as he can’t interfere,
We just let Jabez boss.
