I submitted it to, and it was published by, Garrison Keillor's <i>A Prairie Home Companion</i> website a few years back. Then I changed it to poem form and published it in Chapter 33 of my other blog (which is a Rolls Royce), Billy Ray Barnwell Here.<br /><br /><b>David,</b> what a good memory you have, grandma! See my comment above to Yorkshire Pudding. And in case you have forgotten, Billy Ray Barnwell and I are the same person. At least, we share a brain and a body.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-57969565787294823272012-06-28T12:07:01.523-04:002012-06-28T12:07:01.523-04:00was this written originally by billy j barnwell? i...was this written originally by billy j barnwell? i seemed to have read about that fellow from utah, a mormon david and you once told me it was not ME you were referring tooooo<><><>???i dion't think you could personnallly write a piece that perfectly or beautifullly><><<>i don't know much about peoms but to me it is a peom because you told me it wasPutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480109111920196513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-58664866175989982302012-06-28T11:31:32.864-04:002012-06-28T11:31:32.864-04:00In my ever so humble and probably worthless opinio...In my ever so humble and probably worthless opinion, this is a fascinating piece of writing which accidentally captures some of the real spirit of America - how ordinary people have lived and what is meaningful in their lives. However, and here I risk your eternal wrath, I am not convinced that it is truly a "poem", more of a monologue with some poetic touches here and there. Are you reddening and yelling at the screen?
