"Any New Business?
A
Any Old Business Today?"
E
And so the Annual Meeting of the
E A
Anti-Horse-Thief Association was underway
D A
I lay in the cool-grassy shade, under wood wagon
D
As we were in Uncle Grover's timber today
A
With a tin-cup of cold well water
E A
A lad of 10 or so, to hear what they had to say
D
Maybe a report from a neighbor,
A
About suspicious action he had seen
E
They would watch for each other
A
Protecting their livestock as a team
D
Horses and mules stomp their hooves
A
To shake of the blue tail flies
E
Tingling, rattling harness break hot summer air
A
I watched the moving white clouds in blue, blue sky
D A
After an hour or two, and the talking was done
E A
We'd get on our horses, mules,buggies, or wagons
E
Listen to the rain-crow as darkness moved in
A
And head back the to Lake Fork Home Place again
