Gas from the Oil Well and a Patchwork Reverie
A humorist writes of mispredictions about Washington winning the World Series and other jests. He notes the Potter golf club renting a bank building, jokes about Jupiter’s moons, yeast and sunrise, grasses and greenage, and muses on marriage vows and social quirks. He ends with a Florida booster song lampooning get rich schemes and the notion that fortunes come from “a sucker born each day.”
