Sometimes, when I bin bad

Poetry. Printed in brown on tan paper in postcard format within single-line border at left, top and bottom on recto. At head of title and at right and below drawing signed K.P.B. of flowering vines and clouds. Title from first line of untitled poem in two four-line stanzas. At end of text facsimile signature: James Whitcomb Riley. Suggested range of publication dates from internal evidence and because another similar Riley post card (The prayer perfect, HB39072) acquired with Brown University copies was mailed in 1913.
