Sherm
He asked me..."Whatcha doing??
I said to him..."I've been jamming to the Moody Blues"
After a slight pause he asked acusingly...The Moody Jews??!
Hey Bub...you know when Dad died?...you know Ma, the Girls and I went
to Alpena to identify Him? Well we went into a room and there was
Dad...His shoes where off and his tongue was showing...
and when we said goodbye to him I leaned down and kissed him on the forehead...
...I wish I did'nt go...
The Setting...
Somewhere in
the 70's, Lake Fifteen Camp ground, Dark...
Wendy - Im going into town tomorrow
Sherm - Hey Wendy...your going into town?
Wendy - Yes Sherman...
Sherm - Well when you come back from town will you bring me a henweigh?
Pause...
Wendy - Uh, Whats a Henweigh?
Slight pause...
Sherm - About 3 to 4 pounds !
The Result...
Several tents
around our family tent burst into laughing...settled down to giggling
and finally to whispers...Everybody slept good that night.
Sherm - Hey Rod?...
Me - Yeah?
Sherm - You should get I-Did-a Rod tee shirts for all your girl friends...
you know....like the dog race...!
After coming home from surgery
to remove cancer in my throat I stop by Sherms to catch up with him and
let him know that he cant get rid of me so easily...
After talking and joking back and forth for a while Sherm gets quiet as he notices the scar on my throat from the tracheostomy.
He starts dancing a little and while singing to the tune of MY SHARONA !
He sings MY STOMA ! !
While visiting me lately...
We built ourselves this.....
