One of the members of the Bour-
bon county contingent at Camp Zach
airy Taylor sends THE NEWS the fol-
lowing original "pome," a parody on
Judge James Mulligan's famous poem
on Kentucky. THE NEWS repro
duces it, hoping it may not cause
blush to come to the cheek of any
who read it:
BITTER WITH THE SWEET
The beer glasses are the longest
And the whisky the strongest,
But the prices the doggondest
At Camp Taylor.
The blue grass is the greenest
And the females are the keenest
And the cards turn out the meanest
At Camp Taylor.
A straight beats three aces
And you can't read the faces,
SO you play the Safest
At Camp Taylor.
The men are the quickest
And the crowds are the th1ckest
But the dealers are the sllckest
At Camp Taylor.
A flush beats three kings
And full beats other things
So one filings the deck away
At Camp Taylor.
