Penniwit the Artist

 I lost my patronage in Spoon River
From trying to put my mind in the camera
To catch the soul of the person.

The very best picture I ever took
Was of Judge Somers, attorney at law.

He sat upright and had me pause
Till he got his cross-eye straight.

Then when he was ready he said "all right.
"
And I yelled "overruled" and his eye turned up.

And I caught him just as he used to look
When saying "I except.
"
