The Hawg Jaw Story
.
Once there was an old man often called Hawg Jaw Bill.
Who wrote a blog about his long life by his own will.
Sometimes getting sidetracked when he got a wild hair.
Writing about yucky stuff so bad that it fouled the air.

The Haw Jaw Story
.
I was talking to my daughter Tamara on the phone,
And I told her that I was a little bit bored here alone,
As Pam worked at Candy Craze at Washington Park Mall.
Tamara suggested I start a blog and give it my all.
.
We brained stormed names I could use on the new blog,
In the army I was called Hawg Jaw, kind of like a hog,
And “Hawg Jaw Bill” was then born on March 1, 2014.
And the blog was soon to be started so very green.
.
We brainstormed about subjects for a while after that,
And came up with “Seniors With IPads” so very fast.
To write blogs about old farts using the iPad for fun.
As I thought I knew enough about the iPad for a long run.
.
Tamara set me up on Word Press to publish my blogs,
On March 4, 2014, a first blog was published by the Hawg.
And I was off and running writing like a crazy lad.
In two weeks I had written all of my knowledge of iPads.
.
When I wrote about iPad Notes, I told stories from my life.
Including an incident of a snake and Pam, my wife.
I enjoyed writing the stories of life I did live in the past
So I talked to Tamara and she made changes very fast.
.
So after “Seniors With IPads” in the current blog title,
She added “The Story Of My Life” and I began my recital.
Writing of things that happened within my long life,
From birth to very near death many times with strife.
.
Sometimes I strayed a little along the way as I went,
Discussing hemorrhoids, farts, and boogers so bent.
But with help from my wife Pam, I got back on track,
Getting on back to life stories taking up the loose slack.
.
I told a few tall tales along the way feeling so frisky,
Even though I knew these stories were a little risky.
That weird guy deep inside trying to get out of me,
Still came to the surface a few times as you did see.
.
After a year or so I switched to story poems in the blog,
As they were much more of a challenge for the Hawg.
I have probably written 650 story poems by now.
Perhaps enough to publish a poetry book some how?
.
I’ve been blogging for almost four years to this date,
Publishing 980 blogs that some love and others hate.
But , my legacy for future family has been my goal.
Perhaps my poems will one day be in books for school.
But it makes no difference to me as my story is done,
Although I still may write a little more for future fun.
What will tomorrow bring to the Hawg Jaw name,
It could be nothing at all of even a super kind of fame.
Well, maybe a little fame would make me happy.
