Teddy Roosevelt and October in the old west and campaigns
The verse recalls Theodore Roosevelt riding rough rider bravado from Dakotah to San Juan Hill and back to the West, interwoven with political satire. It then shifts to October’s place in the calendar, Libra and Scorpio influences on campaigns, and a playful football clock tradition. An advertising line for Washwax ends the piece.
