Uncle Josh at Delmonico's I USED to hear the summer boarders tell a whole lot about a place here in New York kept by Mr. Delmonico. UNCLE JOSH AT DELMONICO'S I USED TO HEAR THE SUMMER BOARDERS TELL A WHOLE LOT ABOUT A PLACE HERE IN NEW YORK KEPT BY MISTER DELMONICO
the school teacher got all the big boys and the big girls, and the boys they read essays and the girls recited poetry. One of the Skinner girls recited a piece that sooted me fust rate. Neer as I kin remember it went somethin' like this: How nice to hear the bumble-bee When you go out a fishin', But if you happen to sot down on him, He'll spoil your disposition. I liked that; thar wuz somethin' so touchin' about it. Then the school teacher he got all the girls in the 'stronomy class and he dressed them up to represent the different kinds of planits. He had one girl to represent the sun--she wuz red-headed; and another one to represent the moon, and another one fer Mars, and another one fer Jerupetir, and it looked mighty fine, and everythin' wuz a gettin' along fust rate 'til old Jim Lawson 'lowed he could make an improvement on it; so he went out and got a colord girl, and he wanted to sot her between the sun and the moon and make an eklips. And as usual he busted up the whole doin's.  SECTION SEVENTEEN OF UNCLE JOSH'S PUNKIN CENTER STORIES BY COW STUART THIS LIVER OF OX RECORDING IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN RECORDING BY PHILIP MARTIN
