Ornery people
Full of life
Full of spite
What do they care
Speak their mind
Tell it like it is
Stand tall where you are
Even if in doubt
They are endearing
Honest and always loyal
Respected and right
The righteous have might
They are as tapestries
Colourful designs, ornate
The trials and experiences
Woven in moral fabric
A material steadfast, sure
A brilliance refreshing felt
Lasting through the ages
With but time's precious patina
Ornery people
Full of life
Full of spite
N'er friendless
