A Loan

REV. JOHN LANDRUM, 1839

 

Not brilliant, perhaps,

this son-in-law of mine,

but Lewis Miles is kind,

and he loves my daughter, Mary,

from the bottom of his heart.

Lewis wants to learn

the pottery business too.

For a modest fee

I will send him Dave,

the potter slave,

to show him how

to throw a pot on the wheel

and mix the famous

Landrum glazes.

With the help of Lewis Miles,

another pottery works

in Horse Creek

will grow and thrive.
