POEM: Frontier Relic

FRONTIER RELIC
Back in the old days, on the plains,
when sturdy pioneers took pains
to make a homestead, grow their food,
their children were educated
at home or in school created
by all hands, for the common good,.
Dust Bowl blew the families off
with a smothering, choking cough.
Now remnants of past lives, in wood.
