Long Fork Side Two

Santee Sioux now all stuck ~ Casino, road under water !~ Missouri River, talkin' big it needed water, the River valley dried up Governor's howling, blaming Corps! Our nation always at odds Monica brought her silverware ~ Mom & Dad's on Sunday ~ Spring to now ~ eating - talking - laughing 3 languages ~ Italian opera director! Organizer ~ Secretary for Military Academy Father ~ German military ~ stood up to Hitler, wouldn't salute ~ up his ~ Father demoted to Norway he had his pride ~ after War ~ selling on road! With Monica & Mother ~ sleeping in car then their own RV ~ all over Germany, Italy ~ finally free! The "long fork" is in my belongings ~ part of family set Monica's long fork found a home, with me! She wanted back ~ Her trails and trials in America her longest fork in the road ~ you see ~ Indian looking homeword left to perish all Winter ~ no water, diabetic! While her cousins played, reaped & sowed gambling just up 300 yards Sitting Bull's rodeo days in Germany & Monica ~ a longest fork ~ of returning home!
