Morgan Sweeney feels proud Of his por
| tie genius. Not long ago Councilman Pat,
sey Neaiis succeeded In having a measure
passed for the construction of retain
ing wall on Ninth and Robinson streets.
MIR. Neals' father lives in the area skirte1
| by the wall. and ii struck Morgan that
there was a fine theme for poem in that
fact. This is what he rolled off and he
| threatens to have il set to music:
NEALIs AND THE WALL.
There are men in all positions in the land
| Men who truly act and understand,
But the greatest make mistakes,
That quite often overtakes
| The humblest and many times the grand.
There are sons who are un.oyal to their
sires,
To whom they show no fllal desires.
And often one will hear
or . son without a fear
| OF the loved ones round the homeslde
fires.
With what horror and derision We recall
The everlasting imDudence and gall
OF the councilmanic son
Who already has begun
To build around his fathers house wall
But no worse is he than others that
know;
Some day perhaps he may the better grow
And then for once and all
viii regret he built wall
Before the home he once loved dearly So
