Lockjaw Not Jim
Farmer Jim Dean would never get lockjaw.
‘Tho he learned of it early from his pa
Happened before his morning rooster caw.
Tore his foot on nail hidden deep in straw
Hungry gray donkey gave a loud hee-haw.
Did not look for nail – terrible farmer flaw.
Horribly rusty, not a lah-dee-dah.
Died by four o’clock of acute painful lockjaw
