Mom’s Old Art Box
.
In Kristi’s old bedroom just under the sink in there,
Sat an old cardboard box, I opened with much care.
It hasn’t been opened since we put it there 2001,
And I’ll tell you in this poem what was inside so fun. Continue reading

Posting My Blog On Facebook
.
I decided a while back if I got less that ten hits so raw,
Of my blog that I posted on Facebook Pages as Hawg Jaw,
That I would no longer post my blog directly on Facebook
But for your information, you can still take a look. Continue reading
Sulphur Springs Roots
Sulphur Springs Roots
.
I found a book in the basement in a cover of blue,
Called “Sulphur Springs, Ark 1890 – 1990” so true,
Put together by the descendants of that small town,
Where my families roots went back far with much renown. Continue reading
Roy Kendrick History
Roy Kendrick History
.
I was looking through some old boxes in the basement,
When I ran across some good information as I went.
I found a write up with information Mom had provided,
About my grandfather Roy Kendrick’s life where he resided.
So I’m putting it in a blog to pass it on down the line,
To family of mine to read out there in the future sometime.
So we don’t lose track of the man that raised my mother,
As he surely loved all his children and wife like no other. Continue reading

As I sat there in my easy chair giving my iPad a look,

So I told her Good Brown Beans as they are a winner. Continue reading

My Granddaughter Sarah bought me two more pads,
To draw new Bighead toons so I wouldn’t be sad,
And I could continue to expel memories from my brain.
By drawing them in toon sketches to keep me sane. Continue reading

Bachelor Officers Quarters (BOQ)
Bachelor Officers Quarters (BOQ)
.
In Vietnam on Artillery Hill, was a BOQ about in the center.
That dealt me much misery on my Vietnam venture.
I really hated that BOQ on my stay on that big Hill,
As it seemed like I was a slave working at the BOQ’s will. Continue reading
Raw Honky Tonk Songs
Raw Honky Tonk Songs
.
There are several honkytonk artists that were very good,
Who didn’t make real big times like they really should,
Singing raw honkytonk songs that cut you to the bone,
Making you want to drink beer and two step along.
You may not have heard of these artists I do love,
Pouring their honkytonk hearts in their songs, a cut above,
That always put me in that old honkytonking mood,
So listen carefully to see if you are moved by them too. Continue reading
