Dispatches for the Colonial Office
My Bestest Friend in the Whole First Grade
For Rodney Joe Webb
of happy memory
Our fathers’ farms were
across the road from each other
We rode the big yaller feller
to school
After the morning milking:
Run! Run! We’ll be late!
And back again for the
evening milking
We knew all sorts of stuff
about battleships
And that Roy Rogers was
better than Gene Autry
Chevy or Ford, and America could
never be licked
Robin Hood and the biggest
fish in the pond
The farms are long gone, and
the fields of hay –
I went to his visitation
today
