Classic Poem

Alas! Carolina! Carolina! Fair land of my birth,
Thy fame will be wafted from the mountain to the sea
As being the greatest educational centre on earth,
At the cost of men's blood thro' thy “one X” whiskey.

Two very large elephants thou hast lately installed,
Where thy sons and thy daughters are invited to come,
And learn to be physically and mentally strong,
By the solemn proceeds of thy “innocent” rum.
