A list? I’m pist. Never was
told how to write one of those.
Let’s see— A List? I’m just cleaning out here
now, dealing with the blood folks
Coleman, Craighead and Buckman;
Bassett, Regester and the old pirate
Drake; Lovelace from prison while
Francis’ second verse to the anthem
got outlawed. Sooo sorry that Judge
Taney ruled the wrong way on the
Dred Scott Case or that Turnbull
mistreated his New Smyrna workers.
Sorry sorry sorry for their deeds and
You note I’m not adding me to this list.
Astounding list poem with a punch in the last line!

There’s lots more to add there Nan. I had forgotten about the second verse of the National Anthem, “and long may it wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave”. Well done
