Gone With The Wind
In the movie Gone With the Wind, the great southern plantations,
And the style of life of the southern people were lost in damnation,
To the Civill War resulting in destruction of everything to them.
This poem describes a few more things gone with the wind.

Gone With The Wind

Pam asked the the other day why I stumble when I walk around,
And often tripped ending up falling right down to the ground.
Perhaps it’s because my feet are numb and no longer bend,
Resulting in an equilibrium that’s forever gone with the wind.

I wonder why I have so much more gas that I ever had before,
I still eat the same foods that I did when I was just twenty four.
Perhaps it’s because that I can’t exercise like I did back then,
Resulting in some of that food that’s just gone with the wind.

My hair distribution has changed a lot since I have gotten older,
My eyebrows grow bushy at a fast pace making me look bolder,
And big hair trees grow inside my ears that always need a trim,
While the hair on my head continues to be gone with the wind.

My memory of things in the past seems to always get better,
As I can remember stuff that happened when I was a kid go getter.
But, I do forget where I laid my car keys every now and again.
Making me wonder if my short term memory is gone with the wind.

Recently, I found an old friend of mine, Rocky, on the Facebook.
I was looking for that guy I knew with the young man face look.
But 40 years of aging had taken place since I knew him then,
His hair was gray and all that black hair was gone with the wind.

My sister in law Brenda is quite a lady with a personality so fine,
She weighed in at about 400 pounds, what a unspeakable crime.
She had a stomach pocket put in to slow down her eating trend,
Then lost 270 pounds and all that fat is gone with the wind.

Pam and I won a $1200 jackpot at Cherokee Casino one day.
We were happy as we came home winners from our slots play.
We went back the very next day to see if we could again win,
And played slots, but the cash we won was gone with the wind.

When I went into the Army, l weighed in at 250 pounds to begin,
When I finished Basic training 50 pounds was gone with the wind.
Since I got out of the Army, I found that fat and much more again,
Now weighing in at 300 pounds never again to be that thin.

I recall a time I went deer hunting with Craig and Buffalo Bob.
Craig flushed a deer and he stopped 100 yards away on a knob.
I got him in my sights and squeezed off a round trying not to bend,
But I got the Buck Fever and that deer was gone with the wind.

When we lived in Oklahoma City, one night we had a tornado,
It was heading right for our house within a half of a mile or so.
A quarter mile away, it lifted up and over us as just a high wind.
We were so fortunate that our family was not gone with the wind.
