The Leatherman

The Leatherman

many years ago let the truth unfold
 one man who lived as a hermit
 wearing nothing but leather all around him
 had walked many miles in New England
 he had thoughts of wild excursion in the sun
 but what kept him alive was his deep quest for knowledge...

 he survived many years ago
 had a stone cave in Watertown, Ct
 when rarely seen out in public he would often grunt something with French dialact
 looking for every sort of food he could find

 his only means of transportation was to walk to his destination...
 he was sometimes miles in the woods far from public roads,
 Way out in the middle of no where

 he created a human obstacle course that was his very own...
 many miles he would then roam
 on his various stops people would often leave food,

 Always seemed to be in a very good mood
 walked his trail until the very day he died
 the tale of the leaterman has arrived.
