Dear Editor,
Here's a poem that came to me the other day.
A Horseshoer I'll Stay Shoe'n horses has been my way For dang near thirty years It looks as though I'm here to stay Flip hip ha'ray, three cheers Oh I've took on some regular work and punched a clock or two But it seems my boss would be a jerk 'bout tell'n me what to do Shoe'n horses has been good you see There's been good times and some bad But by golly I work for me And for that alone I'm glad I wouldn't trade my way of liv in For the best job in any town And the best I'll keep on givin a keep'n them ponies sound

Dear Editor,
I'm passing along this hope to your readers.
The Way to Get to Heaven A man knocked at the Heavenly Gate His face was scarred and old Lie stood before the Man of Fate For an admission to the fold. What have pou done? St. Peter asked To gain admission here? I have been a Horseshoer, Sir, For many and many a year. The pearly gates swung wide open St. Peter touched the belL Come in and choose pour harp, he said You have had your share of hell. Author Unknown Rusty May Albuquerque, New Mexico |
