A chapter in the book People

Sammy

by Bill Schott

Sammy had a light repast
'fore his death this Thursday last
mouthed a prayer to his god
waited for a wink or nod

Whether it had come or not
died with Sammy on a cot
DT's shook him to the core
'til he didn't shake no more

County dug a legal hole
Sam went in without a soul
that soul's now here where I am
I wink and nod with Brother Sam
