Phillip Coffey - Tobacco Stick By Phillip Coffey Sam Shepard, actor and songwriter with Bob Dylan was a long time friend of my Brother, Roy. Sam suffered for years with "Lou Gehrig Disease". He succumbed to that dreaded malady a few years ago. Roy was driving around Sam on his farm a few years ago; he grabbed one of Sam's tobacco sticks and brought it to me. Now the tobacco stick is leaning near the Northeast corner of my 'study'. Don't know why I call it that peculiar name. Sometimes poems and such get in my way of progressing while making lots of money; I just grab them because they are an hindrance and I jot them down. Didn't study much when I had ample time and opportunity all those years ago. Spent umpteen years in school. Similar to my favorite tobacco stick I spent a lot of time near a Southeast corner of Keltner Elementary school with my nose turned up in a chalked circle. I did a lot of different malfeasance of some kind that I don't rightly recall. Handled a lot of tobacco sticks in my day, Generations of tobacco stick handlers on both sides of my family. Once had a Great-Uncle that chased one of my first cousins around his barn with a tobacco stick as his only weapon until he plum tuckered out. Great - Uncle was suffering from Dementia - no doubt. My first cousin was a fine upstanding man. 'Sam's Tobacco Stick' is within about six feet of my computer where I 'study'. Given that we have a Second Amendment that gives us the right to bear arms I might use it if ever threatened while studying. (Thinking studying things might be a right given by Socrates long before the Second Amendment who did a lot of it I hear.) 'Just wrap it around yore head'. Doubtful if that ever happens - you might need something to eat. Well, I had rather just talk to you about the matter at hand. Walk downstairs and fix you something to eat if given a choice. I am no Conscientious Objector but I had rather save up my special tobacco stick owned by a feller nominated for an Oscar for playing Chuck Yeager on "The Right Stuff". Sit down and try to talk you out of attacking me; I bruise easily and I want to keep my special tobacco stick in tack. This story was posted on 2020-12-03 22:06:12
