Oh, God, Doctor J, Not Another Wallace Stevens Pun!!

      "I placed a jar-head in Tennessee...."    (You can read the Stevens here. *sigh*   "It did not give of bird or bush....")  

Anecdote of the Jar

I placed a jar in Tennessee,
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.

The wilderness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.

It took dominion every where.
The jar was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.
