The Etheree of Nash Gamett

 “Excuse me for just a moment”, Nash said as he stood and left the room. He returned with a book and opened it up once he was seated again. “Someone even wrote an etheree about me,” Nash said as he handed the book to May.  She read it immediately.


The Etheree of Nash Gamett

By Tex Dermott

Nash

Gamett

Once Famous

World Champion

Ran for Governor

Lost by a landslide

Nash went back to college

While wrestling under a mask

The Blue Bat of Baltimore’s fame

Soared as if on wings of a bald eagle

Howard Long stole the attire and unmasked


“Looking back it was a blessing in the end. A masked wrestler, by the name of The Yellow Cat, did become Governor,” Nash said. " After he was unmasked, all the hype was gone. He didn’t even run for reelection”.

“What happened to him?” May asked.

 “I guess you are going to look him up.”

“Probably.”

“Well his real name is Elliot Blair and he owns a small cafe outside of Houston.”

“Is he happy?”

“ I think he is. People tell me he does not talk about his past.”
