Barbs by Bankhage and the odd political musings
The piece mixes satire on nature and competition with scattered references. It mentions Washington cherry blossoms, long horn cattle in a zoo, a stuffed animal in Houston and photographs in Texas congressmen's offices, then asks what a Brahmin is and recalls Vice President Truman as a former artillery captain. It closes with a reminiscence on dodging fast ones.
