Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Thinking of the Civil War

Dancing to a Dixieland band, I think of General Lee
And General Sherman who led a march to the sea.
I am glad that I did not live in the south back in the day.
I cannot imagine how fast my sad feet could not run away.

Kim Rodrigues May 30, 2022 at 4:25 PM We have troubles of our own, great sadness and awful state of slavery leading to the civil war! Caren Krutsinger May 30, 2022 at 5:10 PM I really think the north was trying to get to the ports of the south - slavery was a tiny excuse the ones with money used to grab what they wanted; nothing ever changes here.

Gershon Wolf May 29, 2022 at 7:59 PM Civil War - so glorified now. It was anything but Civil. Hope we don't have another one soon too. Keep on dancing, Caren. Caren Krutsinger May 30, 2022 at 3:16 AM Me too me me me me too!

L Milton Hankins May 29, 2022 at 6:17 PM Ah, it brings back so many memories of the time I lived in southernmost Virginia and heard those southernisms every day. The Dixieland band...I adore! Caren Krutsinger May 30, 2022 at 3:16 AM I do like that band also
