Tinker Creek Breakdown
Buford Poates 1969

On your mossy banks I stood as a pilgrim
while over stones and between the trees you flowed
I fished your eddies and pools for the bounty
as you made your way on down to the cove

You provided that part of life for our neighbors
who'd have never thought you'd take it away
But your veins could not handle the volume
of the heavy rains that fell on us that day

You picked up speed as you rolled on through the valley
and your once crooked course became a straight and wide path
The boulders and logs became your battering rams
and for two full days you released all of your wrath

What was left behind was salvaged by those who needed
and your water was reserved for the town
They choked you with their concrete and their steel
but the day will come when Tinker Creek will break it down
