By Hook or By Crook (Acrostic poem)

Boggs that sod used his child again, this

Year. He named him Extension Rod.

Handed Rod, a billhook, told him to use

On the highest limb severing, no excuse.

Only the sheriff saw, talked and allowed

Knowing Boggs' trade was the trees' bough

Oh, the Lord' knew every subject's working fame

Right down to each Boggs Rod child was named

Because you see, the Boggs were all wee

Yearly they came, most girls filled with glee

Children of Bogg's Shepardess' wife 

Rugged but comely, placid, and genuinely nice

Overall, the Boggs family was doubly blessed

Only because they gave to the poor and oppressed

Keeping the needed and heaven's goal sharing the rest
