RETRIBUTION Deacon Ward was a very good man A pious man was he Although we fear, if truth be told His wife’s tongue was the key. As Deacon Ward went up the hill, On his way to church one day. He heard a splash in the trout brook Which was not far away. Forgetting all lie ever knew, His morals all departed, Deacon Ward rushed down the hill Feeling happy hearted. Out came his pipe, his line, his hook, The badges of the idle. And all the while, to ease his mind He chanted from the Bible. He sat down by the trout stream Rejoicing in his find, But as he pulled a fat trout in llis wife came up behind. Alas! Alas! poor Deacon Ward Discovered by his wife! lie knew that he would hear of this For the remainder of his life. 9 —Jean Lanphere ’42
