When I was little, I hated weeding. Luckily, weeding the garden was not one of my required weekly chores, so I was able to despise it from a distance. But one day, my distaste for the task transformed into devotion. No, it wasn’t because I tasted my first homegrown tomato or suddenly learned to appreciate the origin of life. It was because of one thing, one thing with which we are all too familiar as our economy struggles to recover—an incentive.

Old Dan Tucker

I come to town the other night
I heard the noise and saw the fight
The watchman was a-runnin' roun'
Cryin' Old Dan Tucker's come to town

Chorus :
So get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to come for supper

Old Dan he went down to the mill
To get some meal to put in the swill
The miller swore by the point of his knife
He never seen such a man in his life

Repeat Chorus
