a beer and a shot.... <br />two old men sitting <br />on the stoop. talking... <br /> <br />about old times, jobs, <br />women, and life.... <br />changing the strings <br /> <br />on a battered old Gibson... <br />the old dog just happy <br />to lie at their feet.... <br /> <br />the sound of bacon frying, <br />the clatter of pots and pans.... <br />a hawk soaring in circles <br /> <br />over the fields turned brown... <br />a couple of songs, <br />a few flakes of snow.... <br /> <br />a beer and a shot, <br />as time draws short!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-beer-and-a-shot/
