It’s like having a day off, she’s having a “get together” with some women, I was told in a matter fact tone, ” there will be 5 women here, you’ll just get in the way, so stay home”. Get togethers, so that what she calls a chicken coop outta control. 5 Women, all talking at the same, all the while knowing what everyone is talking about. Who’s knows what they talk about, probably everyone and everything known under the sun. I have a damn good idea though. Went into a room, first thought… and to think she usta get after us kids for having a messy room.
That desk wasn’t made in china, solid cherry
Told her I’m taking the black powder, it’s needing fresh air
missing one from the box, the round that totally destroyed her shoulder
looking at the box of 30-30 thinking, it has more kick then the 44 Mag long rifle
” what’s this”
under a shotgun bag and some other stuff , I pulled out a shoe box, what the hell is this I’m saying to myself. old pictures, all of the same fella named Lon, Lonnie. Brought the box out to the table, looking at pictures of mother with some dude named Lon, Lonnie, she’s just about to sip coffee from her teacup, ma, who’s Lon “
” ohh damn, where did you find that”.
she knew exactly what I had without having eyes. She starts talking
She was 23 years of age, and Lon, had the most handsome hair she ever seen on a Man. She spoke of dating Lonnie, doing young people things you know like swimming, going to the movies, going on picnics. She talked a good bit about Lon, Lonnie.
Ma, what happen to Lon, Lonnie
We got word he died on Tarawa
” Ma, did you and dad have a good life together?”.
I wouldn’t it trade for all the gold of Midas
With 5 Women jaw jacking at a get together, no doubt the topic of Men will be spoken of
Having never met Lon,Lonnie
I have a pretty good Idea of what sort of fella he was
