Old Brother Higgins built a shelf<\/p>\n
for the family bible to rest itself<\/p>\n
lest a sticky finger or grimy thumb<\/p>\n
might injure the delicate pages some.<\/p>\n
He cautioned his children to touch it not<\/p>\n
and it rested there with never a blot<\/p>\n
though the Higgins tribe were a troublesome lot.<\/p>\n
His neighbor, Miggins, built a shelf<\/p>\n
\u201cCome children,\u201d he said, \u201cand help yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
His book is old and ragged and worn,<\/p>\n
with some of the choicest pages torn,<\/p>\n
where children have fingered and thumbed and read.<\/p>\n
But of the Miggins tribe I\u2019ve heard it said,<\/p>\n
each carries a bible in his head.<\/p>\n
