Poems by John Hay is a collection of poems about Pike County in Ohio, Spanish nature, and the human condition. Excerpt: "Jim Bludso, of the Prairie Belle. Well, no! I can't tell whar he lives, Because he don't live, you see; Leastways, he's got out of the habit Of livin' like you and me. What have you been for the last three years That you haven't heard folks tell How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks The night of the Prairie Belle? He weren't no saint,them engineers Are all pretty much alike, One wife in Natchez-under-the-Hill And another one here, in Pike; A cheerless man in his talk was Jim, And an awkward hand in a row, But he never flunked, and he never lied, I reckon he never know how."
