JOHN KENDRICK BANGS by JOHN HUSTON FINLEY

First Line: WHO HAD MORE LITERARY PSEUDONYMS
Last Line: FAMED LECTURER IN THE UNITED STATES.
Subject(s): BANGS, JOHN KENDRICK (1862-1922); LITERATURE; POLITICS & GOVERNMENT; WRITING & WRITERS;

Who had more literary pseudonyms
Than Homer had birthplaces—one who made
A score of jokes a day just to relax—
Was Mayor of his city (Yonkers named)
Then citizen of Maine, whence he became
Famed lecturer in the United States.
