/// Hannah cursed at their obstinate mule,
“Get a move on, you pigheaded fool!”
While Clem stood there perplexed,
his wife Hannah was vexed.
“We must sell all these trees before Yule.”
/// She said to Clem, “None of your sass!
The snow’s four feet deep in the pass.
If you don’t find a way
to make this cart a sleigh,
I swear I’ll start whipping your ass!”
/// It had seemed they might never arrive
until Clem made a plan to survive:
“We’ll both get out and push,
(whip the mule on its tush),
and convert 4 to 8-legged drive.”
/// So, although they were risking their lives,
it’s on danger that Hannah now thrives.
When they came to death’s brink
she could not help but think,
“Would this happen in Currier and Ives?”
