hey brandon! good to hear from you! heres my poem you wanted to share:

BEN CLEVELANDS VISITORS

A story seldom ever ends

right where it began,

this story happened long ago,

and this is how it ran

Will Riddle was a tory

This cannot be denied

and this is how he lived his life

And this is how he died

Ben Cleveland was a patriot

And bloody was his blade

he killed young Williams sister

A sweet and lovely maid

Will captured Ben one fateful day

To bring him to be tried

But spent the night on Riddles knob

And that is why they died

Bens brother came and rescued him

or so the tale is told

from up there in the Wolfs den

so lonely and so cold.

They would have hung him then and there

But knew they had no right

So took them all to Wilkesboro

Arriving at first light

And Ben pronounced the sentence

For there at last he could

And hung all three upon a tree

of strong and deadly wood

and Happy and her children

all were made to stand and see

and after it was over

took William from the tree

she took them from that fearsome place

now in the world alone

she buried him as best she could

but where it is not known.

Then Happy took her babies and went to Tennessee

She raised em good

The best she could as far as she could see

but time rolls ever onward

as I’ve already said

and soon it past so very fast

and all of them were dead

yes time rolls ever onward

but memories don’t dim

bens heirs forgot the Riddles

they’ve not forgotten him

and so one day they visited

or so the story goes

and stood a moment silently

before they turned to go

I told you time moves on ward

There was nothing more to save

Still the sons of William riddle

came and pissed on clevelands grave

you may find it disrespectful

you may even judge it cruel

but I stood awhile with a semi smile

, and watched it make a pool.

And you might think it petty

But I can tell you this

I felt a whole lot better

I really had to piss.

glad if it gave you a chuckle!!!
