    Default Romneys at Fiddlers Green last night

    Went to see the Romneys at Fiddlers Green last night. Got there about hour and a half early, seats were gone by an hour before(5 PM). Was packed on the grass by the time Mitt and Ann showed up. Very loud and enthusiastic, but respectful crowd. The line I liked the best as in response to what Beeho said the other day about revenge. Romney said Vote for America, not for revenge. Very presidential speech.

    Bob Beaupre really got the crowd going beforehand. great to see - he lives right around the corner from me in Lafayette.

    Anyone else go?

    Ah yes!!

    Poem: "Fiddler's Green"




    Halfway down the trail to Hell,
    In a shady meadow green
    Are the Souls of all dead troopers camped,
    Near a good old-time canteen.
    And this eternal resting place
    Is known as Fiddlers' Green.



    Marching past, straight through to Hell
    The Infantry are seen.
    Accompanied by the Engineers,
    Artillery and Marines,
    For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
    Dismount at Fiddlers' Green.



    Though some go curving down the trail
    To seek a warmer scene.
    No trooper ever gets to Hell
    Ere he's emptied his canteen.
    And so rides back to drink again
    With friends at Fiddlers' Green.



    And so when man and horse go down
    Beneath a saber keen,
    Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee
    You stop a bullet clean,
    And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
    Just empty your canteen,
    And go to Fiddlers' Green.
    FHUGETABOUDIT!!!
