Poem to Thom. Justice, by Mrs. Pratt:
Tom Justice was a wreckman bold
His noble deeds can ne'vr be told
If e'er a train rolled off the rails
Tom Justice came, as hard as nails
He drenched the trucks with axle grease
& rolled them back with greatest ease.
Tom Justice was a Carver great
A carver he of first class rate
He'd grasp his knife, so bright & keen
He'd wear a pennie nice & clean
He'd gently carve a turkey tough
With chickens he was never rough.
Tom Justice was a bridgeman keen
A player smart as e'er was seen
He always played as taught by Hoyle
He ne'r made his partner rage & boil
But played an honest game & good
As every honest bridgeman should.
Then here's a health to good friend Tom
To his genial wife - she's second to non
From trusted friends may they ne'er roam
& long may they live in their cozy home.
Long be their days, may health be theirs
Their friends be many throught the years
& many the joys & few the sorrows
They share together in long to-morrows.
