The poor boy with a wood eye....

There was this boy lost his eye in a farming accident--his family was too poor to get him a proper glass eye, so his Pa whittled him a wood one and painted it up real nice to match his other'n..

This here boy was right sensitive about his wooden eye. He reckoned all the other kids made fun a him behind his back, calling him names and such.

Well his school was having a dance and he didn't wanta go. But his Pa reckoned it'd build him some confidence if'n he did and made him go anyway, for him to learn him some social graces an all.

So this boy's a hanging around the edge of the dance floor waiting and getting up his nerve to go ask some girl to dance. He figgered if'n he asked a girl that nobody else had he'd have a better chance a not getting turned down. So he found him a right lonely looking girl--she was a might big-boned--a sitting there on a couple of them folding chairs and he walked on up to her and asked:

Would you care to dance?

Well this girl so pleased and surprised she replied "Would I?"

To which the boy yelled "FATTY! FATTY!" and ran off....
