Poetic Thoughts - U.S. - by C.W. Pruitt II

Poetic Thoughts header

Some are late bloomers. Some have an undisclosed talent. Some perform best with their backs to the wall. So it was for U.S. Grant.

U.S.

he was broke
he was dying
his family was struggling
so he decided
to write his story
the story came tumbling
in serial form
from his porch
a blanket on top of him
and the nation
was captivated
by his story
for no one knew
that the general
could write
