As the nights seem to last longer and the days grow shorter, my mind wanders back to my youth...this was one of those nights.

The Perry Boys


 


We brothers all were different


Unique in our own ways


Moe was the father’s image


Felix his mother’s son


John the lone gun smoking


Bill the slow talking red


And James the wild young one


 


Brought up under old school


Where chivalry was the rule


A man gave up a seat to a lady


Stood tall like a stubborn mule


 


We learned his lessons early


The family always stands as one


Dad taught us to stick together


Till each battle was won


 


Now years have passed


Jim and Bill moved on to God alone


John’s lives out West in Alberta


Moe, like me, stayed close to home


 


Someday though, again we’ll stand together


As we did when life was sweet


The Perry brothers once more united


Before our maker we will once more meet.

Okay just for info, I am the long haired dude in the black cowboy hat lying across the top of the sofa. Jim our baby brother had already been killed in a motercycle crash long before this picture was taken, and brother Bill the red haired chap passed away a few years ago, the other two are Moe and John.
