Stranger In Milton Creek

A tall stranger rode into Milton Creek
Ragged scar ran across one eye and cheek 
Mayor Tom drew his gun
"You best hightail and run!"
"Geeze! Okay! But first can I take a leak?"

Paula Goldsmith Date: 4/30/2023 1:36:00 PM I have enjoyed these many stories about "Milton Creek." Maybe take all the writings from everyone and put them into a fun book.
