Bill Simmons Poems

Daddy went hunting with the preacher and I
He and his boys and the preachers wife

We were out for possom, about two would do
...

Down at the corner
Standing near the street
A cowboy lights his cigarette
With his hound at his feet
...

As the dawn begins to break, I see headlights
The farm is just a ways down the road
I wonder if she knows, I'm coming
And I wonder , if she is there alone
...

Midnight lightning in the sky
Man in black he passes by
It seems to me he is out of place
With the look of death upon his face
...

He climbs up on his pony
Says, Whoa, stay still
I'm the pony express
I'm wild and my name is Bill
...

The ant fell in love with the grasshopper
The grasshopper said, No way!
All you want to do is farm the town
I just want to hop around and play
...

Said the little girl
Looking at the man
Can you help me sir,
I need to understand
...

He climbs in the chute
Climbs upon his back
With one hand he gets his hold
The other pulls down his hat
...

I've stood with in your shadow
And watched you live your life
And while you were having fun
I'd be alone and wonder why
...

You had me when you said you loved me
You don't have to say another single word
You had me the day I first laid eyes on you
The first time I saw you walk this earth
...
