Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason on a Borrowing Neighbor
A humorous piece narrates a sick neighbor recounting kindness from Jones who mows, feeds animals, and helps. After recovery, Jones repeatedly borrows household items, tools, fuel, and even clothing, prompting the speaker to lament the so called helpful neighbor’s growing demands. The poem contrasts initial praise with growing exasperation at continual taking.

The speaker warned that replacing capital domination with labor domination would undermine progress in the Cummins bill. He argued a government serving all people must guarantee transportation services under any conditions and fairly compensate workers, or it fails.
