TALES OF TOWN
MooNsHINE

Gem county sun was slowly sinking
Behind the western hills so mute,
As a bootlegger meandered onward
i With his back toward the butte.
At the bridge he stopped moment,
| Cached his moonshine, made light
Saw the town in all its splendor
Not cop was there in sight;
Then he smiled and happily murmur-
ed,
There will be some drunks tonight.
On the midnight gentle breezes
/ Drops OF moonshine here and there
Waiting fragrant scented odors
| On the nostrils everywhere.
Now the town is wrapped in slumber,
| But the moonshine shows it's light,
| Not cloud to mar the beauty
| Still 1t is not dry tonight.
