For Sale

LEWIS MILES, 1847

 

Before his death,

Reverend Landrum

did declare in his will

that when he passed on,

all his goods should be sold

and the money raised

be divided

among his kin.

 

Dave knows, I know,

the time is near.

He will be auctioned

on the block once more,

and I fear I do not have

enough money

to buy him.
