Colorado State Penitentiary Vintage Pictures Canon City
Ira bought Smokey
When he and Marie
Moved to Canon City with
Their boys, Ivan and Lowell.
Ira became a guardat
Colorado State Penitentiary.
The Warden, big tough Warden Royst*
Ordered Ira to race Smokey
Against his convicts and horses.

Ira’s Ivan, spare thin- -teen
Jockeyed in the races
Everybody in town knew
Ivan and Smokey could beat
Royst’s best easy
But he felt he HAD to win
With his horses and his cons.
Ivan asked Royst,
“Let Smoky run like he can
Just one time.”
“Nosiree. YOU HOLD HIM BACK.
OR YOU’LL BE SORRY!”
Said Warden Royst*
Smokey never ran
As fast as he could
Ivan held him back
And Smokey never won.
