Jim Webb's Favorite Poem


DO YOU FEAR THE WIND?

by: Hamlin Garland (1860-1940)

Do you fear the force of the wind,
The slash of the rain?
Go face them and fight them,
Be savage again.
Go hungry and cold like the wolf,
Go wade like the crane:
The palms of your hands will thicken,
The skin of your cheek will tan,
You'll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,
But you'll walk like a man!

G. Macca Felix Allen, Jr.'s favorite poem is apparently: Can't take the heat/Smell my feet/I'd like something good to eat (preferably a ham sandwich or Mom's pork chops).
