In 1510

A chameleon, a bear, and a tea boy walked into or over or under the bar. Which one ordered a big stick, who asked for honey, which one looked for heads in a jar? *** Before gold not meant for squatters in a glen, Before vigilance committees, after Lassen Peak and lava beds, sequoias and redwoods for the den, In the time of pearl diving, Before covered wagons did the driving, There was the name of California from a Spanish novel in 1510.
