Cripple Creek In Colorado

Cripple Creek in Colorado Ghost town before have you ever seen? Behind old buildings is grass so green, That we looked for and started to seek; In Colorado a place called Cripple Creek. Thriving mining town it once had been; With several people there, mostly men; Trees they had cut down by the cords; Made houses and cabins out of boards. What we now know and have supposed, All once there was shut up and closed; When wind screams and blows around, Can hear ghost making an eerie sound. Over rocks and ruins started to stumble; Down entire town eventually did tumble, And when you look what will see is moss Except an old church that still has a cross. Jim Horn PS. Will have to read poem "Donald Trump" poem by Judy Emery. Cripple Creek and Pike's Peak.
