I like to pet soft things
But sometimes
I pet 'em too hard
And George'll give me hell.
He said he could never get
no peace with me.
And Crooks said George coulda'
went inta town and I won't hear of 'im
no more.
But I know George
I know he wun't leave
me.
I know he wouldn'
Know why?
'Cuz we ain't those guys
who got no family
sittin' and blowin'
their jack in some
bar room
'cuz no one gives a damn 'bout them.
No sir.
I got George
An' George got me
tha's why.
And if I don' give 'im
no hell
George wil' lemme tend
rabbits
those little furry ones
When we live
offa
the fatta land.
And George says tha's
gonna be soon.

That was great! Like Mari said, I really liked how you made your poem sound like it was from their time, I like how you mentioned their dream and some of the people that they have met along the way. Nice.
