THE WAIT, by MILDRED D. SHACKLETT
First Line: Two old men, invariably together Last Line: Disowning that they wait! Subject(s): Old Age; Wood Carving; Whittling
Two old men, invariably together As the silo and the barn, Smoke and laugh and resurrect Some long-bearded yarn!
Two old men by a fat-bellied heater, Their hours eight to eight, Whittle, nod, and whittle more, Disowning that they wait!
