Seneca Gun and A Sonic Boom

A Seneca gun is usually only one 
After it has been over and done;
When you feel,
Wonder if real;
Two or more loom, were sonic boom.

Lucretia Mott
The meeker sex, she was not!
At the convention in Seneca Falls
Showed men aren't the only ones with balls!

On a slop I’ve put
the soul …
L. A. Seneca

He has nothing
in the left,
but a fraction of
a nut.
And has no
other reflections.
And double voice.

He’s happy!

Let
the right one burn

People flock to Naples.
Monday, lunch-crowd
Says, "I'll take the

Seneca chiefs continue
Their conversations.
Symbols speak in
Passionate tongues.
Who's listening?
The Bristol Hills know
That every tree and vine
Has a tale worth telling,
"Forgive us,
Our dearest Seneca brothers."




A chief of the Senecas  chose to be buried in Naples, NY in the late 19th century....
