The history of making alcohol, and the rights of people being able to have a still on their property has checkered memories for a few rural areas. The symbol of the drought of mainstream liquor caused an onslaught of private illegal stills when selling liquor in restaurants and bars was denied on January 17, 1920, but was repealed and did end on December 5, 1933.

The “national prohibition was undertaken to reduce crime, solve social problems, and reduce the tax burden created by prisons and poorhouses, and improve health and hygiene in America.” It was a failure on all counts and organized crime took the lead.

It was a sign that a positive slide of “progress” is not necessarily in government regulations. Meanwhile after a week of stirring corn mash, water and other ingredients you might be able to pour yourself a cup of moonshine. Making moonshine is still illegal.

The coach expected to glean a category of respect after his new power tackle hit the field. He hoped he found a treasure in the young college player. No one would fustigate his tight ends now.

Cat’s eye glasses on her nose

Legs smothered in heavy hose

Apron pinned on her dress

Hair in a bun still a mess

Scowls from her evil eyes

Disobeying never wise

Hugs were never ever given

All children suffered hard livin’

Mom and dad were busy working

With the nanny always lurking

Life not easy for kids on the edge

Such young birds nested in the fledge.

The boss was friendly and the customers polite and talkative. Even the tips weren’t bad, considering the median incomes of the town. Liza settled in quickly and even though curious, no one delved into her reasons for being there. She was becoming more situated each day and thought she could stay there. Maybe she could finally blend in and he wouldn’t find her ever again.

Nothing compares to a peach

Colorado fruit

Grown in Palisade orchards

Fuzzy orbs of juice

Sweet flesh entices

Chin dripping

Yum!

Writers, authors, artists, composers, musicians, and photographers, find different muses to add to or complete their goal. Creativity is alive and well in their minds and hearts, because they find ways of expressing their ideas in unique artistic forms. It’s sad to think many works of these talented people are viewed every day with the moniker, author “unknown”. Don’t be afraid to own your work.

Intense scowl noticed

Obvious breakfast disgust

With fierce resistance

Having no luck redoing my hut hut hut post I finally gave up and trashed it. Apparently I can not put a video on my blog, just the link, and who likes following links? No one. Today is June 19th, US holiday celebrating the end of slavery of African Americans in Texas, 1866.
