Beloved Peeler! friend and guide <br />And guard of many a midnight reeler, <br />None worthier, though the world is wide, <br />Beloved Peeler. <br /> <br />Thou from before the swift four-wheeler <br />Didst pluck me, and didst thrust aside <br />A strongly built provision-dealer <br /> <br />Who menaced me with blows, and cried <br />'Come on! Come on!' O Paian, Healer, <br />Then but for thee I must have died, <br />Beloved Peeler!<br /><br />Robert Fuller Murray<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-number-27x/
