Book excerpt: Pop’s Poems By: Jerry Bulock Author Jerry Bulock grew up on a small farm in Northwest Lower Michigan. When chores were done, the author went to the woods to have some fun and, with two creeks and a river two miles away, it was easy to find someplace to play. Even in his youth, the author had a desire to write poems; sadly his early work was destroyed by fire. The author is now an old man of seventy-eight and is very satisfied to write of his friends, their past times, and the bikes they try to start. The author would like to thank the “fellas” who served with him in Seabee battalion 26 U.S. Navy.
