Quotations From Blithian’s Daily Data, Page 2 Of 4 Poem by John Bliven Morin

“January fifteenth of any year
No catastrophe occured
No hurricane nor falling plane
Nor explosion could be heard
Nor deadly fire, nor bloody war
In other words, it was a bore.”

'Oh, nothing could be finer
Than to be a minor miner
In the gold rush;
To dream of nuggets gleaming,
And gold dust to the ceiling,
It's a bold rush!

Now if you want to join me,
Come as fast as you can;
Get on that wagon train
And don't forget your gold pan.

Oh, nothing could be finer
Than to be a rookie miner
In the Gold Rush! '
