A SILENT SENTINEL
Reading edition
Whene’er a 20-Mule-Team Brave
Was wearied with the fray,
He rested in a Borax ring
To keep the bugs away.
But if perchance a single bug
Had crossed the line to harm him,
He would have known it instantly;
The ring would have alarmed him!
“He rested in a Borax ring to keep the bugs away.”
