Boys Are That Way
No one else is quite like a pal of
boyhood.
And we had ’em for sure in the
Stone Hills where I came up.
Yes, folks meant a lot then. For
dom, as the Dutch Forker stayed
pretty well to his brier patch.
I believe I recall with fondest
memory my favorite Colored play
mates. Most kids were rather
good then, but they were genuiner
ly so. They would do anything for
us and we for them. They have
largely drifted from my knowledge
and gone from the Fork. I’d sure
like to see Zeke (my favorite) and
Chike, and Fawly, and Green. And
then there was Henry. He was
from a large family. One day I
asked him where they slept. He
said, “Us got 5 beds, a cradle and
a crotch (meaning cot).’’
And then among my white bud
dies was, first and foremost, Mar
vin. He later lived in Columbia,
did all right, and died a few years
ago. My, the happy hours, weeks,
and years we had together during
the carefree days of boyhood! I
could write a book about me and
Zeke and Marvin. And then there
were Mike and Wilbur and Jack
and Case, and Harold and Louie,
too, who came to our school from
acress the creek. If we could get
together now I’ll bet we would nev
er quit talking.
In the after years we make new
friends as we go along, adult
friends And they, too, are good.
But they are never quite like those
we had back in our shirttail days,
when we swam naked in the creek,
feasted on £he wild bounty of the
woods, beat out of everything we
could that resembled work, and
suffered together with starched
blouses and shoes on at church on
Sundays.
