Delivery

REUBEN DRAKE, 1835

 

Dave,

you and Little John

load these pots and jars

into the wagon.

Then you, Dave,

drive it all the way

to the railroad depot

in Hamburg

so our pottery may be sent

to towns across the state.

Tomorrow, bring me back

the supplies we need

and a keg of rum.

Here’s the money, Dave.

Keep it safe.

I’ll be checking that keg

when you get back

to make sure it’s full.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Get to work, boys.
