"The Face of Hunger" O'le Fred sat feed'n sticks into the fire Watch'n them ignite with a burst of flame He just stared'd into the glow'n coals As he softly whisper'd some o'le friends names!   He'd picket'd out o'le Shorty his horse And polished off his meager beans and jerky meal He was about forty miles from the o'le bunk house But ride'n the fence line's part of the deal!   O'le Fred had "The Face Of Hunger" His chisel'd face looked mighty hard He "Hunger'd" for the friendly voices And play'n poker with his bunkhouse Pards!   He "Hunger'd" for the gentle touch Of his wife who'd passed away He "Hunger'd" for those better times When things had gone his way!   He listen'd to a single "Coyote" howl It's lonesome wail into the wind That "Face Of Hunger" took on a smile As he heard "It's Answer'n Friend"!   "MOREWOOD" (Dan Rice) 11\07\02
