greazed

Updated: April 30, 2025

Laziness is catchin'. That's why I hate a lot o' fellers campin' together; it's nothing but yarn, yarn; an' your wagon ain't greazed, an' your tarpolin ain't looked to; an' nothin done but yarn, yarn; an' you floggin' in your own mind at not gittin' ahead o' your work. They can't suffer to be idle, nor to see anybody else idle women can't." Cooper was an observer.
