"I would rather go to my grave enduring the struggle against medical ignorance and prejudice, than for the sake of acceptance suffer the indignities of medical subordination."

The Leader

The deep remorse and anguish felt
from blows received below the belt

That oft are dealt to leaders when
They speak out with voice and pen

Are kept inside these sovereign souls
They take no governance over goals

And these we see that to the end
True leaders lead and will not bend

“GONE FISHIN”

I’LL SAY IT IN VERSE
WHEN IT’S TIME FOR THE HEARSE
LET MY ASHES BE CAST IN THE WOOD
LET NO PREACHER BEMOAN
OVER WHAT I HAVE SOWN
OR OF THINGS THAT I’VE DONE THAT ARE GOOD
PLEASE DON’T SING A SONG
WITH VERSES REAL LONG
MAKING EVERY ONE THERE SIT AND LISTEN PLAY FOR THEM INSTEAD
FOR I’M REALLY NOT DEAD
THAT GRAND OLD SONG “GONE FISHIN”

F.H.B.
