. Well George Armstrong You’ve certainly Done it this time Haven’t you Yet given the fact Of not learning a thing In this life you thought Worth remembering Why would any Including the Indians Think in another You’d listen any better To what you hear Which would then explain Once the battle was done With your body already moldering The women so opened your ears . |

I feel rather stupid but I'm afraid I don't completely understand this one, though I assume it is about Custer. I read everything you write and it usually clicks for me but I just don't get this one. Ida |

Ida, Custer is right The indian women punctured his eardrums so he might listen better to warnings in the next life. Thanks for reading John |

Interesting, I didn't know that. It's amazing how much I learn on this site. Thank you for sending the Poems by Others. That is quite a collection. I have started reading and it will take a while but I am enjoying it and adding to my collection. Ida |

OK, I absolutely love the way you know yourself and can then turn around and put it so well into a poem. AND, that you can do this without out that "pity me" poetry we all seem to fall into at one time or another. You have a no nonsense style that I really enjoy Jan |
