neighbors now have more fun

hes no longer spreading fleas.

Here lies Molly Ferguson St. Marie
She fell out of a big oak tree
Landed on her head
And soon she was dead
It was her last tom-boy spree.

Oh Ferguson.
Simply kindling for a bonfire
blackened white smoke
hate marinating into flame
hope dining on what remains
what happened to your soul
what happened to your soul
hope dining on what remains
hate marinating into flame
blackened white smoke
kindling for a bonfire
Oh Ferguson....

Whales live in the ocean
So it's pretty rare to find
A whale beached in Iowa
But it doesn’t mind

It swims in the Cedar
Takes care of the cattle
Stock breeder
Wildcat hill

Eventually, it’ll return home
Back to the plains
Iowa is all he’s ever known
The land of Ames

In Memory Of William Marshall Ferguson...

Sorrow are the memories we now all share
Understanding we want to have peace with you
Forseeing that there would be such a spark
Fighting for that love and all it can do
Emotions of anger and fear fill our hearts 
Racism was well on its way to being a thing of the past
Inside we have curled up or thrown punches 
Nightmares on God's soil are not unsurpassed
Grieving all the lives lost so fast...

Spelling a thing of the past,
Thank-you cards will disappear,
Cursive writing will be lost, 
No more postal mail.

Phone conversations are gone,
All temples of worship close,
Libraries lock their front doors,
No more paper books. 

Good news for Craig Ferguson, 
Entertainer - Late, Late show,
The all new Johnny Carson,
No more Jay Leno.

There was a woman named Ene,
Mr. Ferguson she did follow,
She lost all her house,
Much space she's without,
Let's feel for Mrs. Ene Ferguson!

Now this lady named Ene,
Mr. Ferguson she did dream,
Her house hard to clean,
Yelling a maid she not be!
Let's feel for Mrs. Ene Ferguson.

So our woman named Ene,
Ole Mr. Ferguson, a hoarder he be!
Her house is a mess,
To fight she confessed and lost I digress,
Let's all feel sorry for Mrs. Ene Ferguson!

The world’s a little colder;
There is less we can rely on
Without the ready shoulder
She would offer us to cry on.

The family’s less together
Since we’ll miss her calm demeanor
For no matter what the weather,
In her presence grass was greener.

Now our lives have lost some luster 
As our mourning days have started
And it might be hard to muster 
More than being broken-hearted.

*My dear sister-in-law, Sharon Ferguson,
passed away unexpectedly last night....

The Law - Poem by GLEN PUGH
they are there when we need them
in the day or the night
it dose not matter if you are black or white so lets stop all this killing and do what is right
in Ferguson, Missouri Michael Brown did fall
shot by a police officer there is a lesson for us all
no matter what race you are we must respect the law
the law is not always right that is not my message here
but stop and think before you act and live another year
