Goof (1902)

[Douglas G. Wilson]

 From N'archive:

----------

_Colorado Springs Gazette_, 2 March 1902: p. 17:

[A humorous poem about the legislature, with interpolated commentary]

<<.... / For below the people's elect were spread. / Some were statesmen,
in wisdom born and bred, / While some were muggled goofs with necks of red. /

<<The poet seems ignorant of the fact that no legislature is complete
without a few goofs. .... The poet seems to forget that this is not his
legislature. It is ours, and if there are goofs there, they are ours too.>>
