Ancestor Relics

1. The Hunting Horn

Say his name three times quickly:
Reed Roe Ramey--
Some wits would call him Railroad Ramey.
With Loud and Drive he'd hunt
the wily 'coon all night,
the dogs baying,
the horn echoing around the mountain,
while the bored raccoon most likely fell asleep
in the high fork of a sweet gum tree.
