Country Twitty and Merle



Lotsa sleep happening
Being restored
After serious diabetes issues.
Books to read
Netflix to watch.
Best one definitely
Port Protection
On Disney
Small subsistence
Island village
Rugged Alaska.

And Bedside radio
FM 100.1 the Ranch
Listowel.
Many allusions
To Jack Whiskey
Dark bars and broads.
Trucks of every kind.
SHE THINKS MY
TRACTOR IS SEXY.

Got here through
A hailstorm booming.
Sunny and warm now.
Took first walk
In weeks, sporting cane.
Felt great.
Robin's cheered me
On from their lawn.
Trotting alongside.
Twice my pace.
Lovely place.
