Gelett Burgess #3 -- June 11, 2008

Gelett Burgess (1866-1951) was a San Francisco writer. His most famous compositions were "The Purple Cow" and "The Ballad of the Hyde Street Grip." Here is one of his less well-known poems:

MY FEET

My feet, they haul me Round the House,

They Hoist me up the Stairs ;

I only have to Steer them and

They Ride me Everywheres.
