====Waiting Game, 1926 ====
<poem>
Ground was sandy cool and easy 
I saw Jack Pelton
dig a hole
beneath the cottonwood
and bury a fruit jar
of moonshine whiskey

He patted the mound
smoothed it off
and disappeared
into the blackjacks 

I could have told someone
Papa or Uncle Prez
but I wanted to have
one secret to myself

Perhaps if I waited
long enough 
I would see Jack dig
the jar up

Men said whiskey
had to age
How long would it take
Would I be old enough to vote
or go with boys to the pie supper
whichever came first

''Coda: True, about the whiskey, I saw it.''
</poem>
