those VINO are WORKING uuder MIN.
one Of the Panama poets has made
this SUNDAY Court the subject of Il
poem which Describes the scenes 80
" ell that % merits reproduction here:
~ You have any cause TO kick, or
feel disposed to howl,
II things amt running just to sun
and there's chance to grow
If you have any axe 10 grind or graf
to shuttle through,
Just put il up 70 Colonel q. like all
me others do.
"sce Colonel Goethals, tell Colonel
Goothals,
It's the only right and proper thing
to do.
Just write a letter-or even better.
Arrange a little sunday interview.
Casey IS an engineer and treated
awful bad:
Eight minutes overtime they worked
the poor, defenseless lad!
So Casey sees the Colonel, with tears
in his eyes and says;
7 cannot stand for this no more
without lay-over days
" Dear Sir, the Commissary here
writes Mrs. Percy Jones,
Is charging me for porterhouse
which ain't no more than
bones.
And assure You, Colonel, that the
pork chops what they sell
Is rotten. I enclose herewith a SAM
pie, just to smell
Mrs Hobbs and Mrs. Dobbs are
nelEhbors in a fat,
And Mrs. Hobbs calls Mrs. Dobbs A
dirty this and that.
Then Mrs. Dohbs reciprocates, and
maybe both are right,
hut in The end the Colonel has To
arbltrate the fight.
Don't hesitate to state your case
The boss Will hear you through.
It's true he's sometimes busy and
has other things TO do,
But come on Sunday morning and
line up with the rest
You'u maybe feel some better witt
that grievance off your chest.
