The Call
\nBy: Earl H. Emmons<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you ever have a longin’ to get out and buck the trail,
\nAnd to face the crashin’ lightnin’ and the thunder and the gale?
\nNot for no partic’lar reason but to give the world the laugh,
\nAnd to show the roarin’ elyments you still can stand the gaff.<\/p>\n

Don’t you ever feel a yearnin’ just to try your luck again
\nDown the rippin’ plungin’ rapids with a bunch of reg’lar men?
\nDon’t you ever sorta hanker for a rough and risky trip,
\nJust to prove you’re still a livin’ and you haven’t lost your grip?<\/p>\n

Can’t you hear the woods a-callin’ for to have another try
\nSleepin’ out beneath the spruces with a roof of moonlit sky,
\nWith the wind a sorta singin’ through the branches overhead
\nAnd your fire a gaily crackin’ and your pipe a-glowin’ red?<\/p>\n

Don’t you often get to feelin’ sorta cramped and useless there,
\nMakin’ figgers and a-shinin’ your pants upon a chair?
\nDon’t you yearn to get acquainted once again with Life and God?
\nIf you don’t, then Heaven help you, for you’re a dyin’ in yer pod.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
