THE WHITE HOUSE ON THE CORNER--- MY FORTIES HOME
Where have all the dirt-roads gone...
I. Where have all the elm trees gone...
Where have all the clover-lawns gone...
Where have all the old folks gone....
Where have all the children gone....
Where have all the puppy dogs gone....
Where have all the thunder clouds gone....
Where have all the rain showers gone...
Where have all the milk-men gone....
Where have all the WWII soldiers gone....
Where have all the B-24's,
circling town, gone...
Where have all the horses, cows, chickens
and rabbits gone....
Where have all my schoolmates
gone...
("LONG TIME PASSING...")
GONE TO HIST'RY EV'RY ONE...
"WHEN WILL WE EVER LEARN....
WHEN WILL WE...
EVER... .. LEARN?"
