George Keats

Left England
Seeking opportunity
In America

He settled in Kentucky
Built a flour mill
Built a lumber mill
Amassed a fortune
And built one of the first
Stone dwellings in Louisville

His brother John
Turned his back on
A promising career
As an apothecary
To devote his life
To writing poetry

That didn't sell

He died young

George always considered
John to be
Somewhat of a disappointment
