How tall among her sisters, and how fair, --

A flattering letter, more's the pity,-

And signed per order of Committee.

Thus rose an empire in the savage land.
Her golden seats, with following years, increase,

I have this feeling for you as if you as if you are a new toy
What beats with blood also jumps for joy

The days leading up were full of clouds,
With no promise of seeing the eclipse;

Those who wish to be President
Must practice what they teach.
For their people need inspiring
To believe what they preach.

Unlike their cousins that collectors take.
Have a name known far and wide

A Deadly Pig Virus Has Killed As Many As 6 Million Pigs In the US, Canada And Mexico
Factory farm conditions of filth are one of the factors in the development of this deadly virus which has killed millions of piglets in Canada, Mexico and the US.27 states at present are affected, with the most in Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina and Illinois. Major media have not until now carried the story.
ABC Disney and Breitbart are blaming China for a pig virus while the world's biggest pig producer is Smithfield of Virginia, with slaughterhouses and factory farms in Virginia, North Carolina, Mexico, the UK, Romania and Poland, with huge lagoons full of pig waste, dumping of toxic waste into rivers and the Chesapeake Bay causing brain infections and pfiesteria. ABC Disney is also falsifying the report of 'epidemic porcine diarrhea' by saying it does not spread to humans who eat the flesh of pigs.

Stories of accomplishment, conquest and fear.

From the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific shore
With the valleys, the plains, and succulent mountains,
And the breathtaking scenery and wonders galore.

Dad took us fishing on Chesapeake Bay
Caught a tubfull of croakers that fine day.
And some twisty eels to slime your line
We sure has us a real fine time.

Trying to get a hunch
Of what the heck to get for lunch.
Opened the fridge and looked to see

diesel roars inching its way
across 21 miles of bridges,
tunnels to eastern shore
wind blowing; i can feel

i was sitting on flight-deck
watching these merchant ships
cruising chesapeake channel
fully loaded for christmas

distant cars crossing bridge
small as matchbox colorless
some are in a hurry; passing
disappearing in depth tunnels

i tire from thinking i'm going away
not far you can still hear from me
if dolphins would chuckle to sun
jump so high to reach where i am

i was in the middle of a party
to pick up the house key
when they started talking about me
how i took the whole family to a cruise

i'm looking at the bridge
cradling the rising sun
color of m &m candy
cars are like matchbox

i would be out dancing with real waves

John Calvin is a French cleric and lawyer who challenged that people could interpret the Bible for themselves
Rejected Catholic rituals denying that he needs an elaborate church hierarchy
Calvin went farther than Luther stressing God's omnipotence and emphasizing the need for people to submit totally to him

Skyline fading in evening haze...
The air is warm and still...
Music lost in the sweltering heat - and
No one brave enough to dance

Down we drove,
The rim of Philadelphia
Hot motorcycle
Burning in the truck.

On rainy days
such as this
at work it slows
down I think it may be

The weather drops off on the Chesapeake
and shallow gray waves fall on gray waves
outside the window of our clapboard

Down the world with Marna!
That's the life for me!
Wandering with the wandering wind,

Columbia's vain sons, long deluded by France,
Have dar'd to the conflict the lords of the main;
Britannia, insulted, cried, 'Warriors advance!

What joyous notes are those, so soft, so sweet,
That unexpected, strike my charmed ear!
They are the Robin's song! This genial morn

He healed a hole in my heart;

Pumpkins in orange rows and piles fill the pasture,
Next to the large shed,
Where there are some sugar pumpkins for pies,
And some mums and bags of apples and fall decorations;

The English settlers believed their civilization was more superior than any other.
Tobacco became the American crop cultivated in Turkey
John Rolfe planted seeds far superior than the strain grown in Virginia
Virginia began to export 1.5 million pounds by the late 1620's

Past the fourth cloverleaf, by dwindling roads
At last we came into the unleashed wind;
The Chesapeake rose to meet us at a dead end
Beyond the carnival wheels and gingerbread.

A grainy predawn dark, early Expressway traffic
bleeding arterial tail lights across gray water
and its blue heart. Under Lemon Hill,
grunts from Boathouse Row, woodshop clunks,

With the Chesapeake behind it…dung in the stables

Bonnie Parker wrote this folk poem, credited to A. L. Kirby late 19th century, from memory with some substitutions, into her bank book from The First National Bank Of Burkburnett Texas, along with 9 other poems, during her stay in the Kaufman County Jail in 1932.
Bonnie changed the original line of ''The Engineer with his oil and waste'' to her substitution of ''The Engineer with his coal and oil'', probably because she did not understand the meaning of ''waste''. Waste were the oil soaked rags used to wick oil to old style plain bearings.
