WOODS WORK ~

We were up in the woodlot, full sunshine, this afternoon

barely any snow now, certainly ground plain of ice

Here's a photograph of bringing home over the ice

sliding like kites

two sled loads of dry oak

We left a good size pile of hand split oak

up in the woodlot for another day

when a bit more snow falls

For all our Hillary Clinton fans, and we

know you're out there friends

but we don't like the war-hawk Hillary

the liar Hillary, the daddy war-bucks Hillary

Goldman Sachs Hillary

any more than we any longer like our

Vermonters Peter Shumlin and Patrick Leahy

not rooting for their home town boy, Bernie


We would love a woman President!
Could you bring back Shirley Chisholm?
or ask Angela Davis, how about Elizabeth Warren?!
We'll wait for Elizabeth Warren —
if she even wants to bother
with this circus

Bernie should sit down on the end of the log

with Donald Trump and I bet he could

teach him some things —

after all, this great country was cut out

of raw wood by salesmen / con men (Trump)

and freedom riders (Bernie)

and an independent mind

is a glorious thing

That's how two woodcutting fools

chatter aloud in the woods

when the sun is

starting to feel warm

on their backs

25 degrees

to-

day

If you've cut trees for half a century as I have

made your income from the same

are still at it just the same

it doesn't matter

you will enjoy this read.

There are certain things you've missed

as I found, plus there is all that Norway.

If you have never cut down a tree in your life

wish to

this book may save your life.
