Down where the lavender wisteria blooms. For the first time this spring, and early in the morning I heard the whip-poor-will sing its intriguing tune. Later, when I looked out the kitchen window.

There’s a good man deep inside me though most could never tell, when I’m brawlin’ with the devil drinkin’ booze and raisin’ hell. Satan grins and taunts me it seems he won’t backdown, a good man wants to get free but the whip - it does come down! I knew I had a slim chance once things had gone awry to crack his whip with...

The whip-poor-will entertains. His song crisp and fresh today His voice is not inhumane. And leads my few thoughts astray. Running was the Bovidae Outside my open window.

When clinging to a tree trunk their dim mottled plumage makes then almost invisible. When they fly they fly...
