MACFARLANE'S DUG-OUT
"This is the house that Mac built."
Since the breed that were our forebears first crouched within a cave,
And found their food and fought their foe with arrow and with stave,
And the things that really mattered unto men were four, or three:
Shelter, and sustenance; a maid; the simple right to be;
And Fear stalked through the forest and slid adown the glade—
There's been nothing like the dug-out that Macfarlane made!

There's been nothing like the dug-out that Macfarlane made!
When Mac first designed his dug-out, and commenced his claim to peg,
He thought of something spacious in which one might stretch a leg.
