omaha, ne

hey guys!

friday night ice cream
yummy custard ate by all
may we have seconds?

it was really great custard!

but after dessert
some of us take a field trip
to warren b's house

drove to neighborhood
pulled into driveway to view
his house across street

went to the corner
pulled into driveway to view
his house across street

wait!  that was his house
we stop and get out to see
security guard

back in the car now!
drive away very quickly
to a close side street

must have a picture
but how?  only two shall go
to walk by, snap shot

the walk soon begins
we stop to take the picture
when the guard comes out

walk away quickly!
hope the others come back soon
walk quickly, walk, walk

eventually
the others find us in car
as we run we hear

"hey guys!" and "hey guys!"
is it the guard calling us?
hurry, drive away

after pulling into the driveway twice the security guard thought we were creepy.
the one not so hot picture we snapped of mr. buffet's abode.

winter quarters, ne

next to nebraska we went,
to visit family past and present.
at the mormon pioneer cemetery we learned our relative is a celebrity,
great grandmother amy porter who is said to be so kind and pretty.
hers is the only original pioneer made headstone remaining,
and everyone knows where it is - even the missionaries in training.
underneath her name are the initials of her twins who also passed,
joseph and benjamin, who after their mother's death did not long last.
