(By Holt County’s Poet Laureate.) Like the battle-fields’ No-mans’ iand With bursting shells its only flow ers, You are securely sandwiched in ‘Twix’t Winter’s snows and April showers. And ’tho you gave each season a part And worked their boundry so it’s plain, The season’s armies once more meet To battle for a few days gain. Winter claims you as its own, Jack Frost today rides on the gale, Directing a barrage o’er field and plain Of fleecy snow and drivin’ hail; But when the morrow’s sun doth rise, And Spring’s vast armies charge the foe, The birds will sing from barren trees And watch the routed armies go. rhus, day to day, and week to week, You stand the season’s battle’s brunt Knowing history repeats itself, You watch the weakening Winter’s front, And wonder if they can rebuild Ramparts of snow, pierced thru and thru, Or whether you were privileged To boundry line the Water-Loo. —F.
