Self-appointed Overseer

My friend and neighbor through the year,

Self-appointed overseer

 

Of my crops of fruit and grain,

Of my woods and furrowed plain,

 

Claim thy tithings right and left,

I shall never call it theft.

 

From The Crow, by John Burroughs

Thanks to “Danny Chapman” for my crow
