Hey, how are you
We don’t talk much
Well I talk, but you?
Not much
I’ve known you for
A while
Since sixth grade
When my bus was late
And I came in
One seat left
We passed papers back
I turned around
And there you were
I froze inside
Flash forward to the fire drill
Where the high schoolers
Screamed...

He wasn’t  a hermit, or any other sect or sort.
He was just an old man; though always alone.
Well, except for the critters.
They were not remarkable, just - - -many
and they all adored old Jake.
He didn’t...

JAKE CASTLE’S - THE THRILL OF THINGS

Characterized by routine or superficiality, his mouth was full of draught when he spoke unthinkingly.
Awry was his eyes as he told of events that had transpired.
He laughed aloud with his audience.
This was Friday and Jake Castle was the life...

Jake's as purty as a Boston terrier can be.
Grinning and jumping each time he sees me.
He’s happy to be fed and he dearly loves to fetch.
We use a little stuffed bear when we play catch.

I got him as a puppy and instantly could tell
He was...

A wind slowly caresses the ridge line.
Southern pine cones rock in the tree.
A local whippoorwill is keeping time.
The old cricket: He chirps a bit off key 

The cabin: time weathered and worn;
old Jake: his singing is in the same boat.   
He sings, nonetheless,...

He was just a stove-up old cowboy, 
Who only drank to ease the pain, 
And he really didn’t need it, 
Except when it was cold or gonna’ rain. 

He’d spent his life bull-ridin’ , 
Until he had that wreck, 
The bull threw him high, he...

There once was a man named Jake
He had a great fear of a snake
He thought he saw one
Took a knife, to be done
A garden hose, it was a mistake

My stepdad’s name was Eldon, but his best friends called him Jake.

Later with three kids, divorced,...

I have a blue cattle cross kelpie
'A working dog' they say
But Jake doesn't work
He eats and sleeps
Then runs away.

Jake is mischievous 
and some people say
Jake is a dumb mutt
But from a proud dog-owners mouth
I wouldn't have any dog but...

My Dog Jake....

Old Uncle Jake

By Elton Camp

Jake, in his heyday, was a mighty man
He could do as much work as any can

He created for himself a comfortable life
Surrounded by children and loving wife

The children grew up and moved away
At the home place Jake and wife did stay

I knew a guy whose name was Jake
Who lived in the woods near a lake
           He was sorta wacky 
           And a tad bit tacky
But...
