Hi William

Can you tell me, if this poem "Tragedy"(below) has been written by a member of your direct ancestors? As I now this may be Jill Spargur b 1907 d 1929, so he died very 	
 young. Do you know more about this poet?
Tragedy

<!--[endif]-->I always wanted a red balloon,
It only cost a dime;
But Ma said it was risky,
They broke so quickly,
And beside, she didn't have time,
And even if she did, she didn't
Think they were worth a dime.
We lived on a farm & I only went
To one circus and fair,
And all the ballons I ever saw were there:
There were yellow ones & blue ones,
But the kind I liked the best
Were the red, and I don't see why 
She couldn't have stopped and said
That maybe I could have one -
But she didn't - I suppose that now
You can buy them anywheres,
And that they still sell red ones
At circuses and fairs.
I got a little money saved;
I got a lot of time,
I got no one to tell me how to spend my dime;
Plenty of balloons - but somehow
There's something died inside of me,
And I don't want one now.
