Era: 1940 Curt Teich Description: Legend of the Spanish Moss in Louisiana Rough, old meanie that he was, From Spain came Don Gorez Goz. As he cast a wary eye about A pretty lass espied this lout. He bought her - this Indian Maid - For a cake of soap, a yard of braid. The grieving beauty fled with cause For tarnished braid indeed is was. Gorez pursued both hard and fast Until she climbed a tree at last. As Gorez followed her he leered. How those branches caught his beard! The beard remains, but Gorez has gone And still the tale goes on and on. What an ominous warning it should be To see Spanish Moss hang from a tree. A cake of soap and a yard of braid May be enough to win some maid. Look, though, swain, and make thou sure The braid is clean, untarnished - pure! - P.M.L. Publisher: Curt Teich, Chicago | |
