  1. There was an old poet call-ed Jack Robinson from Broomfield Virginia. He made many poems. One of them was "Gorman's Cow".
    Good morning Georgie,
    The porter's a bit flat,
    And you have a bottle in that.
    "It's all right" said George.
    It's Guinness's plain.
    And I'll call in again.
    Then George Kermit went down the town,
    And who did he meed but Charley McLane,
    He said there's a chance for us now.
    Our friend Mr. Gorman wants a milk cow.
