Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Clerihew

Carrie Nation

Carrie Nation and her cohorts stirred up all kinds of consternation,

   As they raided bars leaving a trail of broken glass across the nation!

      With hatchet and Bible in hand she preached hellfire and damnation!

         She deemed demon rum and those who drank it an abomination!
