Bobby was my best friend

I found this yearbook photo on the internet of a wrestling team back in the day, I think they were from Ohio.   You can't see the the kid's face in the picture, but he looked that frightened.  Maybe even more so.   I hope he did have a friend on the team named Bobby.

With Turbulence of Love

Waddy Young, Oklahoma football and wrestling hero, flew 25 missions over Germany during WWII, then volunteered to fly B-29's over the Pacific where he was shot down and killed after returning to help a besieged plane under his command.

An early photo I found was signed, "To Maxine, with Turbulence of Love. "  It made me wonder about Maxine and if she ever got over him.

Raccoon Trouble

I wanted all things to seem 

to make some sense,

so we could all be happy, 

yes, instead of tense.

And I made up lies, 

so they all fit nice,

and I made this sad world

   a paradise.
