Premium Member Ernie won't bite
I walked in Draper Park Saw a family at a table, heard a dog bark "Ernie's friendly," said the Mommy, "he won't bite" A large goofy dog came at me, seemed alright. Ernie growled, maybe because I smelled of beer Or maybe because I didn't let him sniff my rear But in Ernie's genes, a wolf pack in the night from pet...

To speak for those, who no longer have a voice, were I to get it wrong, would they really have a choice? No.., they didn't choose me as spokesperson, why would they? I am not clairvoyant. But they haunt my dreams still...cause me to rise, plead me to look back. They won't let me alone, point in fact. “I am...

Ever Jumped a Train - Part 10 - Robert and Ernie Adventures
Well, I had promised Ernie and Snowy I'd walk them downtown, It was cold so I tucked them warmly inside my jacket pocket. Sneaking out of that rail yard in daylight was quite tricky, I guess by now I don't have to tell you about being caught. After walking awhile we came across a sign that said Walnut, I told...

Ever Jumped a Train - Part 9 - Robert and Ernie Adventures
Well, here we were, me, Ernie, and Snowy on this new train, Both of them were still inside my jacket and sound asleep. I knew now that mice snored, could feel a strange vibration, It came and went with a little wheezing sound under my ribs. I sat there quietly and wondered now about our direction, Figured it was most...

As we reached the top of those stairs the sun was blazing, Ernie peeked his head out of my pocket and screeched, Robert, he said, I think I've gone blind, I can't see, Just let your eyes adjust I said, you'll be alright friend.

Here Ernie and I were in this loud New York train yard, I had just promised him I'd try to save his new found love. She was a fair haired mouse, in fact her fur was so white, That sun glaring off her could almost blind someone. Wait, that was it, I think I figured out how to free...

Ever Jumped a Train - Part 5 - Robert and Ernie Adventures
I woke up that next morning after arriving in New York, Oh boy was my stomach sore from laughing so hard last night. Could tell Ernie was dreaming as his eyes were in REM mode, Noticed his tiny heart would always beat faster too. I was only fifteen years old then and Ernie about one, Little did I...

Ever Jumped a Train - Part 4 - Robert and Ernie Adventures
That train took us north after our Washington D.C. stop, Suddenly there it was looming grand on the horizon. I told Ernie I was so excited to see the Big Apple, He blinked up at me with that hobo mouse look I loved. He said I don't see any apples as he squeaked out a giggle, I said no Ernie...

Ever Jumped a Train - Part 3 - Robert and Ernie Adventures
One morning Ernie and I awoke to a noisy train yard, It was that place many hitchers feared known as Chicago. Since Ernie had traveled there before he warned me, In that little voice he said don't open the door. Praise our Creator my English lessons had actually taken, He had spoken to me and I mean in no uncertain...
