There is an old coat rack <br />that stands in the hall <br />and I’ve often wondered <br />whose coat once hung there. <br />It is much older than it looks, <br />probably a hundred years or more. <br />Many coats have hung on it <br />by people large and small. <br />I did hear that at one time <br />the coat rack belonged to Buffalo Bill, <br />so it is possible that Wild Bill Hickok <br />and Annie Oakley hung their coats <br />on it at sometime. <br />One will never know, <br />but now this little coat rack <br />with some history <br />belongs to only me. <br /> <br />11 February 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-old-coat-rack/
