Lexington, Kentucky
ΦΑΔ; Henry Clay Law Society
“Nick is a good old lawyer who has bravely met his fate,
It’s only very recently that Nick acquired a mate.
He was husky, fat, and trim, until Cupid played his pranks –
Now he is lean, and lank, and slim, and all that’s left is shanks.
-The Kentuckian, 1923
