I have partaken of the waters of the Springs of Zorfo
I have witnessed the River of Peace I have found the (former) location of the home of Homer And I have walked through the sodden forest But despite my best efforts I did not see a Marshtackie or a Spoofendyke. The ladies would certainly enjoy the feminine characters in the book I believe Louisa was my favorite She was deadly with that shotgun Both on rattlesnakes and brothers-in-law And cooking tips for women were interesting. There was a recipe for perleu And instructions for preparing.... Tail of Alligator. We had a great time in Wauchula. Frank Hensley |
