A \\ AII. FROM THE NKJIIT
I came to Nome. Alaska.
In Nineteen Twenty Three,
My mind made up to travel
And all the sights to see.
Of sights I’ve saw a plenty.
My traveling days are o’er.
I’ve staked a claim in Nome,
I want, for nothing more.
There’s much that could be said
If space would just permit.
Rut I'm stopping with still a chance
To make a small sized hit.
