“Whar’s that damn Yankee Lieutenant?” barked the Rebel Sergeant. Reuben struggled to his feet. His stomach still churned from the half-cooked Confederate cornmeal of the night before.

Re-ride

Andersonville
Marble markers in a row, With Old Glory hanging low. In final rest, these heroes lie, Underneath the Georgia sky. Where they suffer never more, Victims of the Gods of War. Living in the Georgia dirt, Blackened face, ragged shirt. Life no better than the hogs, Hunted down by Wirz’s dogs. To drink the waterContinue reading “Andersonville”

Ride the High Lonesome
If I could ride the High Lonesome Trail, I’d choose the right path and I’d never fail. Wending my way through washes and rocks, And not give a care for cell phones or clocks. I’d gaze at the mountains in wonderous awe, The prettiest picture that I ever saw. Fed by the rain and warmedContinue reading “Ride the High Lonesome”
Retina
Cloudy lens, myopic eye, Give the Doc just one try, Doctor A will fix me good, I will see like I should. Easy op with little pain, My world becomes clear and plain. I threw my glasses in the trash, Had better uses for my cash. The curtain came from the side, My vision wasContinue reading “Retina”
