Long Boy scouts Poems

I don't see you.
I've been searching my whole life,
But still, I don't see you.

When I was a wee lad
I looked for you ...
My mother's smile,
My father's toil,
My brother's refuge,
My sister's amity ...
I didn't see you.

Thanksgiving,...

I have so many places/acts dear to my heart
I’m just dying to share some with you
Not to boast, I but honor them, all played a part,
I'm sure helped to bring me in your view!

The Appalachian Trail is quite a long path.
Not many can go the whole way.
For those not content to do the math

Most hikers elect to go part of the way.

that took my mother west
away from her family farm
to seek adventure. She found work in San Diego,
joined the Navy and met my dad.
It was the 1950’s.
Planes were not yet a big deal
and...

He is  my favorite brother,
When we came to Canada and he was born.

 When Tom was a baby.

I used to...

'Twas the night before Christmas, I’d forgotten the sprouts
So I sent out a plea to the local boy scouts
I’d remembered the crackers, the turkey and ham
but my guests would expect sprouts, so I was in...

Berms rise high to the left and right,
they’ve created a wide gully,
another berm squares off the back,
so no stray rounds ever get free.

There’s a metal spinner back there,
sits just short of two hundred yards,
I squeeze...

Acknowledgement of God is step number one.
Knowing oneself, strength and weakness won.
Inspection by the soul of thoughts concealed,
A truthful inward view at last, revealed.

Acceptance is a skill that improves one’s life.
Whether for yourself or someone...

In my head...
the moon is obviously luminous green cheese
the man inside looks down and laughs at all us worker bees
chocolate flows in a river made by a man with a funny hat
Superman saves the day...

earlier the mists had their task to wash down.

The wilderness is always beautiful,
whenever one stumbles upon it
and everywhere one looks, it's blissful  
to spend an entire afternoon exploring it!

Sit by that small pond loved by skylarks and observe frogs
leaping while a golden...

Even after all the 
misogyny,
  That crap with
Monica Lewinski.

 Homophobia and 
No abortion.
  Congress and 
Political extortion.

  Too much racism,
And white-supremacy.
  All the bull lies
And no transparency.

  Women's rights are...

received from a library rummage sale.
It's being utilized differently than
its original purpose for the public.

Yes, I’ve done it once again
Removed a seeping cancerous pain,
Soleimani’s dead and gone,
The devil’s agent, the Ayatollah’s pawn.

Long the source of all things bad,
Few if any should feel sad,
If his passing caused a stir
His gruesome...

The peace your arms once moved humanity and grace
Of luck and prosperity now echoes through nightmares and disgrace
For thousands of years you reperesnted so many cultures
Until propaganda branded you into an image of slaughter

BYE-BYE BILLY BAKER

Chasing butterflies through the grass
Trapping fireflies in a glass
Butter and fire don’t seem to blend
But Billy Baker was my best friend

Flipping baseball cards against a wall
Raking leaves in the early fall
Hoping summer vacation...

Better be sure to eat your brussel sprouts
And have hog jowls along with some grits
Even if someone said Shallotte is the pits.

In church basement, Boy Scouts...

So have you heard the latest scoop;

And people about Baptists are really sore.

The Astonishing Robert Wadlow

By Elton Camp

At Robert’s birth, his family smiled
As they welcome an 8.5 pound child

But soon any real normalcy was gone
His pituitary made too much hormone

Doctors of the time couldn’t do a thing
So...
