RHYMES OF A
ROUGHNECK
BY PAT O'COTTER 1918
DEDICATED TO ALASKAThe home of the tin can and dog,A waste of snow, ice, and moss.The graveyard of ambitions,The by-word for hell,The home of the famed double cross.Men come here for gold,Ambitious for wealthThey stick—for they can't get away,They dig, drink, and die,And then go to hell,To pay for their last sucker play—
ALASKA
