MY KENTUCKY

Where the swezt-b rer blooms beside the way
Where the humming bee drones through the
Where summers come and longest stay
That's my Kentucky.
Where the whippoorwil throbs out it's song
On the old ash-pit the summer long,
Where childhood memories thickly throng-
That's my Kentucky.
Where leecy clouds float in the sky,
Where cooling springs are never dry,
Where mint and willows never die
That's my Kentucky,
Where autumn turns the woods to gold,
Where winters short with little cold,
Where spring. time beauties can't be told
That's my Kentucky.
Where the race horse hits its fastest gait,
Where the swiftest ball goes DER the plate
Game cocks gamest up TO date
That's my Kentucky.
Where fox-hounds bay in the hazy night,
Where men don't quarrel but sometimes fight.
Where hospitality sees its height
That's>my Kentucky.
Where women are held IN high esteem,
Where lovers stroll by the quiet stream,
Where romance dreams its fairest dream
That's my Kentucky.
Where people are friendliest ever met.
Where strangers go without regret.
Where some men leave but none forget
That's my Kentucky.

NAVY BLUE

Say, pal | saw you sneer at me just

Don't | look good to you?
I'm not quite in your class, but what !?
For being in Navy Blue"
You think that Pm not good enough
For such guy as you.
Well men who wouldn't take your
hand
Have worn the Navy Blue"
You bar us from your theatres.
And from your dances. too:
There's room enough to spare for all
But not for the men in Blue"
Take this from me, men who serve
Their flag are strong and true.
Stout-hearted, loyal. ready and brave,
Not weaklings such as you
I'm proud to wear this uniform.
My ancestors wore it too,
And did their bit with Farrogut
Way back in "Sixty-Two."
| know Pm not fashion plate.
nat hot III my iihS tidt tIuc,
But listen pal, it takes a man
To wear the Navy Blue"
So when you meet Sailor,
I'd mind, if | were you,
That God didn't make you better
Than the man in Navy Blue"
The above poem was contributed

Cloverport boy, Bernard Teaff, who
