The Poem I Wrote Up - By Huck Finn (*but I only dictatored it - somebody else put it on the paper, if you'd wanted to know)
"I ain't got learnin' like ol' Tom
Nor want it neither any how;
Them books and all that 'rithmatic -
I'll leave 'em by the side for now
Since much a-doin' there I'll find
Upon the river strong and wide
Where 'ventures better - real too -
Are waitin' patient to be tried.
I knows they're not of make believe -
I thought it over real good;
I'd bet my life and all my things -
The river'd take me where it should."
