Surprised, and unexpected,..immense in our grief For the story that begun over eighty-plus years ago there is much,... too much, that we will never know Who was Skeet...the man that had no name? Does he have a proper name? something different to exclaim? Engraved upon a stone..........what could his name be? Now, "Skeet" will have to do.....for all eternity....... ___________________ For the contest sponsored by Mystic Rose .....................................................................................................
