That Guy ( Dinosaur men)
virtually extinct
old school
old fashioned
now, just old
but once they were giants
a breed apart
ruff and ready
smart and resouceful
they did stuff
big stuff
hard
fast
got it done
making plans
setting goals
on the go
but,alas!
they are no more
gone,in essence,
like film noir,
John wayne,
or the Tuskaloosa air men
they just don't make 'em
like that anymore
but, I keep hoping
there is a place
a forgotten wilderness
where they still roam
free
hearty
and wild

Yes
I am with you on this, they don't make them like that any more.
as I read this, it reminded me when I was younger in the 60's we would go to the village
(NYC) and hear poetry by beatnics, this had that hard driving beat of those days gone by. I enjoyed your write.
thanks for sharing this peice.
Always Eddie

thanks, Eddie
I, too, remember those days....yes, I was once young also... these guys are of my father's generation, and I have always had a great admiration and respect for them, although I do realize they were not perfect men, i liked their style and ways. thanks for dropping by. So glad you found some enjoyment in this small piece
sincerely
Al
