a little poem from my mom for Uncle Gordon

RIDE EM IN THE SKY
GORDON MEYER 92
AN OLD PICK UP.A PIANO OR TWOBOOTS, SUSPENDERS,MAYBE A HAT
HE WASNT JUST OUR UNCLE....HE WAS THE LAST OF THE OLD SCHOOL/GENTLEMAN/COWBOY TYPE GUY.
HE WAS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SMALL TOWNS-WHERE THIS AND WHERE THAT.
HE WAS SWEET, FUNNY, KIND AND TRUE.
HE WAS NEVER TOO BUSY TO EXCHANGE VIEWS, STOP FOR COFFEE, PLAY A TUNE OR HELP MILK THAT COW (LAUREL)
NO ONE COULD TICKLE THE IVORYS LIKE HE COULD. NO ONE.
THREE BLIND MICE WAS MY FAVE.
HE ONCE HAD A RANCH AND A STALLION CALLED ROWDY.
HE ONCE HAD A WIFE CALLED EDITH WHO COULD MAKE JAM OUT OF ANYTHING. ...
SHE WAS SWEET, KIND AND TRUE,TOO.
HE COULD NOT RESIST THE OPEN ROAD. EVER.
WE MISS HIM ALREADY. ADIOS, AMIGO
