"Watching the Willie Nelson
Birthday Show on TV
( His 70th birthday )
Brings back mamories of Butch.

Butch loved music
And Willie was his favorite.

I can see Butch now:
Lying on the floor
Between 2 speakers
Volume: LOUD
Saying, ""I like to feel the music.""

I don't wanna get over you.
Help me rememberyou."

"Sidney Snails' sister Saffron
Slinked slowly toward the saltlick.

Suddenly, Sidney Snail Shouted !
""Salt licks shrink snails Saffron.""

So Saffron slowly said,""surrrley
saltlicks shouldn't shrink snails.

But Sidney Snail stopped Saffron with a
string of slightly stickey, slimey spaghetti."

This was when my Grandma was born. In fact she lived next to the powder river and Custers last stand.
She and her 12 brothers and sisters used to play in those dry hills.
In the summer time there was a lot of grasshoppers around. In fact these grasshoppers would be so thick they would cover the ground.

"Marmaduke was a purple turtle. He wasn't just an ordainary turtle. Marmaduke liked to eat socks, not just any socks. He liked dirty smelly socks. The kind he always found laying on bedroom floors.

He loved Andrew's bedroom. Andrew never hung anything up. Andrew never put ANYTHING AWAY. His Pyjamas were hanging on the door knob. Papers and crayons were scattered all over the floor. His cars and trucks were on the bed, under the bed, and everywhere you looked!

So Marmaduke waddled over; in corners, behind doors and under the bed. He ate blue socks, red socks, striped socks, a green sock and Andrew's gym socks. He burped loudly!
