Michigan Macomb County
He said Holbrook Ewell was the poet laureate, and cited sev eral fragments as he recalled them to mind. One a heading to an article! „ written in a hurry, for which the press was waiting:
"Here comes a single line for the Aurora,
Hot pressed and writ in a hurry."
Late at school one afternoon and muddy at that, he wrote
A long road that never turns,
A soggy stick that never burns,
A curious man that never sighs, And this road that never dries.
This was another of the poet's drives
" When Adam first beheld his wife
He gratefully called her woo-man
But when the apple made his stomach ache,
He changed that name to wo-man But now the women are so full of whims,
The people call them whim-men
