WIDE, WONDERFUL
WORLD
BY FRANKLIN J. MEINE
Editor, The American Peoples
Encyclopedia
A LIMfeRICK, as most people
know, is a humorous verse,
form supposed to have originated
about 1700 in the barrack room dit
ties of soldiers of Limerick, Ire
land, returned from duty in
France. As made popular by Ed
ward Lear in his “Book of Non
sense,” published in 1846, the
limerick consists of five lines,
rhymed a-a-b-b-a. The third and *
fourth lines have two metrical
feet, and the others three. Per
haps the best known of all modem
s.±Vt' .
limericks, according to the Ameri
can Peoples Encyclopedia, is the
anonymous “Young Lady of Ni
ger”:
There was a young lady of
Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a
tiger;
They returned from the ride
With the lady Inside,
And the smile on the face of
the tiger
However, the people of Limerick
haven't devoted much of their time
to verse. They find it more profit
able to care for the great herds
of cattle and the flocks of sheep
and goats, and to growing potatoes
and oats.

As a kid in the Stone Hills
of the Dutch Fork, we knew
where all of the wild plum
thickets were for a mile or so
around. And those things vary
a lot, you know. Hardly any
two of ’em are just alike. Guess
each started from a stray seed
being dropped. And all that
came from that bush to make
the thicket were alike.
We had yellow ones, red ones,
and one thicket of a sort of or
chid or purplish plums. This last
one was our favorite. It was la
ter and came after the others
were about gone. And it was
far better eating than the rest.
So we let 'none of them go to
waste.
One June day I ventured back
there across the hills to see
how that favorite clump was
coming along. Much to my sur
prise, they were ripening, and I
was hungry for plums. So I lit
in on ’em. The first juicy one I
bit started a tooth hurting. But
I ate right on until the pain
overcame my appetite and I
headed home, holding my jaw.
I found the remedy for tooth
ache there on the medicine
shelf, carbolic acid! I wonder
now about our using that dan
gerous stuff. But it was our
standard remedy. We’d dip a
smatl swab of cotton on a straw
in it, and then pack that down
in the decayed and hurting
tooth. The pain would usually
ease right off, and it did that
time. Anywhere a bit of the
acid would touch the mouth, the
skin would later peel off. But
what was that compared with
toothache? I left that cotton in
there, returned next day, and
feasted on that delicacy of the
Stone Hills. I’ve never seen a
wild plum just like it, before or
since. It should have been pre
served.
