Gen'Ral Ulysses Grant

'Twas well-known that Gen'ral Grant liked his rum

   But he knew how to make an army hum

      Lincoln said that if he knew

         Where Ulysses got his brew

            For his slothful gen'rals he'd order some!

Robert - the whole world can be wrong, but you are alright. when I lived in Chicago I went to visit his house in Galina, that is the last town in Illinois. It was said that the town's people but him the house as a gift after he won The Civil War. At That time it cost $ 2000.00 and yes He was the town drunk, but very smart. Thanks... Lucilla
