Building a Fence
At first light
Simon made a move
He chewed his chow
Coffee washed it down.
At the store
He went next
There he bought supplies
For the campsite.
Wooden posts
Barbed wire
Hammers and nails
Fasteners
Buckets
Shovels
And more tools.
Cans of beans
Corn and ham
Cans of apples
Peaches and plums.
Mr. Ger beamed
At the stack of coins
as the supplies
were loaded
On the wagon.
At the cafe
Simon grabbed some bread
and swiftly headed
out of town.
Before dusk
Ewell reached
Carson City.
His horse
was baked
he made a change.
The men
were gathered
And ready
As the boss
Had planned.
A wagon
Was loaded
Guns and ammo
Plus addition supplies.
Chuck drove
Tim kept an eye
The rest rode
Horseback
Lead by Ewell
Through Rocky Mountains
Across the Patchi River
Stopping near Tent city.
Simon and Ewell
Kept watch
As the men
Got to work.
By noon
The place
Was fenced in.
Simon rode back
To BG
While the others
Set up camp
And waited
For orders
About their
Next move.
