Analysis of Sausage
John Bannister Tabb 1845 (Amelia County) – 1909 ( Ellicott City)
We are ground, but no more grounded
In our family affairs:
What is found, is so confounded
That no Sausage longer cares
To determine how or what he
Owes the family of Pork,
In the pens of Cincinnati,
Of Chicago, or New York.
