The Old Man's Bureau

As I looked into the room of an old Irish
house I was, of course, attracted to
what was on the old bureau top.
I think probably,
Angus finished with his washing up,
put out the candle and retired early,
for tomorrow they would leave
at dawn to bring down the dried
sod. Sure and it must be ready by now....

Old Angus has gotten up mighty early most of his life. His old bureau has given him good use, hope he has taken the time to rest a bit!!!

No need to wash and shave just to bring in the sod. I suspect Old Angus is off to have a pint or two at the local pub.
