With apologies to Vachel who wrote, "Miner Jim," and Bobby who published the poem. Caver Jim 1970: Caver Jim, you know him, Tall and straight, body strong; Before the dawn, he'll be gone, To walk four miles, cave all day long. 1980: Caver Jim, you know him, Day's caving now takes its toll; Step much slower, head hangs lower, After a day of caving. 1990: Caver Jim, you know him, It's time he faced the truth: What he can't do, a young man can; Those days have claimed his youth. 2000: Caver Jim, you know him, 'Fore they took him away; Caver Jim, you knew him; They buried him today. --------------------------------------------------------------- Happy Caving Holidays, Preston in Outer Browder, KY > --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
