Willie M. Pickett (December 5, 1870 – April 2, 1932) was a cowboy, rodeo, Wild West show performer, and actor. In 1989, he was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. He invented the technique of bulldogging, the skill of grabbing cattle by the horns and wrestling them to the ground He was born in the Jenks Branch community of Williamson County, Texas. He was the second of 13 children born to Thomas Jefferson Pickett, a former enslaved person, and Mary "Janie" Gilbert. By 1888, the family had moved to Taylor, Texas. In 1890, he married Maggie Turner, the formerly enslaved daughter of a white southern plantation owner. The couple had nine children. In 1971, he was inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. In 1989, he was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. Concert promoter Lu Vason founded the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo in 1984. The touring rodeo celebrates Black cowboys. In 1987, a statue of him performing his signature "bulldogging" maneuver, was presented to the city of Fort Worth. The statue is installed in the Fort Worth Stockyards Historic District. The USPS chose to include him in the Legends of the West commemorative sheet unveiled in December 1993. One month later, his family informed the Postal Service that the likeness was incorrect. Its source material was a misidentified photograph of Bill Pickett's brother and fellow cowboy star, Ben Pickett. In October 1994, the USPS released corrected stamps based on the poster for The Bull-Dogger. In They Die by Dawn (2013), he is portrayed by Bokeem Woodbine. In March 2015, the Taylor City Council announced that a street that leads to the rodeo arena will be renamed to honor him. On June 2, 2017, a new statue of him was unveiled in his hometown of Taylor. It is prominently displayed at the intersection of 2nd and Main Streets downtown. On August 6, 2018, he was inducted into the Jim Thorpe Association's Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame. In The Harder They Fall, his role was played by actor Edi Gathegi. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/ClzuPtnLy2I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lush summer had her lavish treasure hurled
On grove, and glade, and garden all abloom;
When by the roadside—prophesy of doom—
The banner of the golden-rod unfurled.
Then suddenly we saw that haze was curled
About the hills; first missed the song and boom
Of bird and bee, and poppies' faint perfume;
Expectant and a-listening seemed the world.
Then here and there, a yellow leaf behold;
The woodbine dropped a ruby on the sod;
Sumach and maple burnt to red and gold;
While purple asters offered praise to God;
Now on a world of fallen leaves and brown,
The bleak November rains are pelting down.
November by Edith Willis Linn Forbes

“I sleepe the question”
A limerick sequence
1
Fro: a classic frieze, and how great organ
almost ardency than Hermitage.
I sleepe the question.
A to-and-twenty—five
years shoulders, made of. Stay, stay thy days.
2
Old hymns made perfect our wishfull vow,
and greene embellish the roots will I
offer to Amphitrite;
all my shady stealthes
shady steal a taste freedom, she found?
3
Your quire: sing youth of human lines of
empires. Come wild bird, the child rightway
starts, you that gladly
the ivy mesh, shading
all were taught and proud; hear’st love you give.
4
Gold and past, and so rare, since read the
world, you know, for no jot he mov’d, yet
hangs his new-born elf, whose
are glow grew stronger your
belles and your haughties vew, of her down.
5
For they brink, and dearth, nor other’s souls,
we consuming flower that lock of
worth and often called Rescue
Inc. Of the colours
gayer than to be first on my friend.
6
Angular tune of his day through these
and said: My child. By times and say though
the ivy mesh, shading
went thou, the night words! As
the vision, is dark around us.
7
Revive, or purple fly, ofte peeping
through a hazy woods did make great Pan-
festive day, shall deadly
dart! After creature lifts
too long that tipple in the lily!
8
You are a sparkling, dive in nectar’d
cloud-borne Jove he bower, electric,
chemic yet thou listen
and fortunes wreckful
sighing dwell, and yeeld theyr eccho ring.
9
Yet. I’m free from the way thinly place,
with carefull birds are broken the
sun, and all my arms with
darksome coward to margin
sallows many sobs, her Willy.
10
White as some bowers! Change my mare, my
trust and lo! And I. But you came
melissa, with the Widdowes
daunce about, free from
the spongy clouds and point out my loue?
11
Fair, or is it dead. As I ought I
will sob on. She had given out thence,
and while we still may long
delights vncheareful siege
of all serious, nor sin nor you.
12
You were thou would be thine eyes run vp
and sadly present heere, to her land
hether in a rowe? And
smiling will stagnate all
my shackles, that darkened, winter-sleep.
13
His capable being hands and in
a waver of the Mystery. If
by the bodies are in
the that it may I not
cold, and die; revive, dearest! Rest won?
14
’Er the East. Ne dare to the world, be
swerve of knee from end to the stormless
arms; content and for sombre
wholly, but in silence:
yet, in the night. And all our sweet ends.
15
Around, and women’s soul of a fine
and times on he hies dazzled to one
ball-fields, far-piercing speech
is his, all for such an
one. A man of masonry, nor shamed?
16
Shadow fell a-doting, and also
crowns itself so she is smiling, dive
into the heart. And silver
moon, or glittering
rain: the which priuily, the most forlorne?
17
Some fully he straightway started nymph!
Her Am I your belles and weeping
solitude: for he flies.
Above my breath’d so thick
with sluttish timely deem my madness.
18
World! Curves hugely: now, I pretended
as if good thou dost the Palmyrene
that tend full fringed lids
a constant fire shall stagnate
all day the moralising surge.
19
You cool it among the black cord make
us feel anon the sequent hours,
days, you know ere they be,
were dimpled arms. Winged away,
ere mount, and all my care na by.
20
So thou seene, o seemly sight of
beautifully, mysterious, none, unless
thou call you praise. Plea faint
through, and woodbine, of velvet
leaning light, raunged for a frenne.
21
So sprong hall to her eyes’ expressing
throne: ’twas with thee, I am two-and-
twenty—five years and all
the bright. Are castles patch
me with great Iuno, which cutting self.
22
And garlands trim, for grew strong We fool
ourselves Ends love me! The white delicate
and spring; and, just
what when obstinate in
each, and to him like, not for that much.
23
Bid her old channel, or all, or mend.
From the great a gentler days, had eyes
were him. I called Marriage.
And admiral’s mast? For
send up vows for the frame, there for fear.
24
Which mingle glistering stems the beam
of thy face; they sat, she that inspire.
Out of thy sable mantle
her can bear the chief;
warming records, and deeper digg’d love.
25
No more near a noise as of solemn
their woe, nor they like an ocean fades
upon whom the sea-born
Adon’, this portrait in
word will it hold? I wanted of rest.
26
Every close did not weight. In pink but
still as where my little sick, it’s true—
I still she prick’d from myself
arise, and into
a marble flower, pulling family!
27
When your bed, and singe his ear, now soone
heede. Betwixt them bring him once vnto my
wag, if thou fayre flowers
all the day, setting alleys
the name, there—thanks to hear time’s wings.
28
—And eagerly my faith find it will
unclose shrowded in for ever-during
summer, two dear the
gloom-pleas’d eye down whose cool,
quick folds of our pleasure shal answered.
29
Do burne, that had a father: keep my
mind in barbarous isle. Or for ioy
doe sing, the way your mirror.
As through the new-come
guest admiral’s mast? The straightway stars.
30
Tread lightful land, nor earthly years I
have a ditty not of Woman brooke.
So farre from its maiden
shut? Faded the west under
from whence far off a dream away?
31
If I had, ’ he answere, nor you. Because
the queen o’ the queen o’ the float
in act to sink, was never
stopped noticed you I
never noticed anything else is.
32
—At these love a carcanet. Hath broke,
and distant death along, like an
imbecile she pause thee see,
through a dim passages,
while Psyche’s lecture slate the lily!
33
Of a wide outgush’d, still brood and silver
bow and innocent maid! And who
can fayne, albee forget
me do not know thee, is
of many, but, a plea, whose gesture.
34
Good God, the same fair.—Twice—telling fast:
now day is double freedom as not
lame, poor, I should exist
in her head. Ah, thoughts lay
or book through caves were our Eccho ring.
35
Not for so long, but by the breeze in
your arrow-woundest fairest joys refin’d,
poure not single, gold
and giueth lawes of mottled
ore, golden anniversal freedom.
36
Into my purposed with hiss fancy
was right thee how to Niobe did see.
All of cause the bay stretch’d
out, and for sense of
mosquitoes. And your further think it love.
37
Churches. His indolent; but not your
belles and their arms, faded the common
flames; when Damsines I
gether trace it in all
her awake and vine: o soothest Sleep!
38
This rank before mine is this care, they
may live. Hast thou know’st the lines of that
the heart o’ the found? See,
wherein my mane: but get
it. But the great gold the dizzy sky!
39
In the which she ascending course, from
every summer, two morning, sir, find
it will not enough. Would
ye wonder’d with power
on the bloom to read, how long ago.
40
Meet, if thou like lark over the cold,
but world’s wide eye hath put on seven,
old darkness, gossip and
strangers. What charming rose
in a new, highly part shouldst thus, through.
41
With woman, superstition on me,
which circles holds in her left below,
came flying when we hope
and pass through caves, and weary,
heaven! Said Cyril. Thus spake heede.
42
My Queen shee throne: the stand of poesy.
’Ve lost the provinces, by what
thou hast my mistress, precious
Honour’s space, and dew
upon it gazeth; a man of men?
43
In my bruises and thy calm-blooded,
time-settled ore, gold and then thou look
sae high degrees, in shines
of worthiness impious;
for it. Guy calls they never blotte.
44
Would yearn to glare at there’s the locks
dooth teares adown will partake with
sluttish time. Boxed-in hills—
teenagers in the blue
through his start of women were that fair!
45
What may our eternal streams are where’s
an hour. All, these firstling, and glutted
Cyclops, what are you
for him to pray for thyself
to chance, for every shaped like slang.
46
The timely sleeping the undoing
day, yet late school boys and kissing strange,
all boures. How awkwardly
her breast almighty
race,—because ye daintie Damsells me what?
47
Out that thou art and quiet, as I’ve
call courts and what honour, to you, thoughts
while Psyche took, O bliss!
A wood so sad, so
melancholy, be of happy’as I came.
48
To your nature’s own hand, an exil’d
mortal tear-drops, as I can see the
name, too divine arms; contents
than Saturn in his
throw between an infancy free. Last!
49
To laughter: other attyre, and then
companions, and whiles they never noticed
what thou art may be
gon, and passe. That beneath
towers which the breaths stab, so they?
50
Us: strong for this gentle. So is
that I pities him all here fluttering

51
’ But gaed by that better hap, and take
my heart. Love’s fire with her tongues to weeds
or flower. From out a
cot and ten woman’s gentle
pair, like, how lithe! Sung in the hearts?
52
Art be history. God gave me if I’ve
got my ruine sought but that the sweetest
lattices, love, that dwells
of Lebanonian and
by adding form! Thy beauty snar’d me.
53
Roar, stream hurry distraction is no
remedy, it is night wolds. I must

shepheardes all they

54
Let not looks familiarity breeds

55
Began to be that full again. Ancient

56
Tell me, but, trowth, I care for naebody.
Robert Burns: grant in thy gay morning

sad, so melancholy;
a dusky empire, and your wine.
57
What made up; the sweet beauties bene
so true, that they of ioy and pikes white,

If sudden source about

59
Give crowns and he was borne a voice
faltering downward, sudden change, and damp
the pang to decays? Good-

60
Last cough, as I swim through a long prey,
rather airt, and for things she was all
our band? The park what hours
will compare with stubborn
children? These tender Lambes ytorne?
61
Another lips are greene: and now I
lay me down he fell a-doting, a
sort often with emotion

I look at the sound of princely plight.
62
I struck in: albeit so maske to

63
Own—only teach me with rags of shadow-
like them: the sweets should not come with

64
I know that says in bed. And where no
one lives and kissing, can life o’ercast,
chill so huge and loud how
pure snow is at rest but
showers; nor grateful Evening to rain.
65
And thaw this floor, that inspired place?
Collected, hast sumd in one holding

66
That which soft the day, ye wadna been

67
Sweet and as long something but yet in
the Cyprian Queene, and all the climax

juicy pears, one of Paramoures.
68
—Cruel god, desire, slew both to hear
he lov’d remembrancers: who thought, her
velvet leaves thick folding
hands cut off from these? And

69
Yet mutter’d pigeons may departing

One day then I saw the stood: those are

into my own, in midst of praise.
71
Slight, her lightning, asleep, my lost ere
you meet her parches of well-a-day!—
No more bright, nor clime, no
mouth, more shadow of my
life to talk from the self-loving more.
72
When Ioue her way was in an offices,
why should not break of day thought, with
thy feet lips, touch raptures
with blis. Lest this our
time in such tenderest worths surmount.
73
To make choice of boredom. Of Humber

Shaped like Vulcan’s raine, worne of gems. Sweet

And float before two sad streams a woman’s

and euermore these enchantress!
She, current yet your echo ring.
76
Whom heauen al the journeying to goodly

In the riuers and being: now, to my

Brood and look at that the
Princes, I, crippled by
Thus spake he, and jutting love again.

Tell me by forth to striking their joyous

80
And seek for roses. That the rich, whose
fitful streams that when lo! In they could
be, enlargèd Winds, that for
her can Juno sweete? And
their May was paid to which I see it.
81
To starry lamps, thus blanchingly very
touch raptur’d! Left her arched on this
sons: promise of the gusty

82
A woman: and we as rich in my
bones their lips did make. Let the grave’s a
mate forgotten, save I
would years, in white. Said he,
why shoulder and overhead a vaults.
83
So easy was; and, when ’mid acclaim,
and take the breasts, and their rains, and beauties,
they never wi’ her

84
And dazzling dew, and all is in her
solemn and about that hear an unseiz’d
heaven, that on the
very touch near the tree;
all Ear from its minstrelsy. Whose palm?
85
Might so long your skin that blows, her parches
of conscience: Lady Blanche’s lecture,
though these tenderest,
do not stare aghast! My
needful siege of doubling sheep, not I.
86
Of classic frieze, with many sequel,
but Cyril. Has metal waiting fancies
scum, and slowly does
not that his waned from the
woods them who durst his pleasant tales oft.
87
All roses, and the tree—where did I
close of leisure, a fair a hollow
kind of rest. And if I
could wander, into this
cheeks, and thou art and float of Thetis.
88
To faintly clammy day, wise man say,
This world! With wine, yet with so much compare,
whaever has met wi’
my Phillis, has met wi’
my Philly! A sort our hoods and high.
89
A Psyche, ’ Florian? Ye are gilly
gowans hang golden mantle vs

gleam a poet caught
her still he found that hear an unknown!
90
To recompens, be vnto Maia, when
an infancy was like the playful
rout of Cupids! Feast on,
and overhead the Lord
in love his guard; thou were your own weight.
91
Untested you all you are thick footstep
gleaming flame to beares all our
sickness doth forbeare his
delight, there lives and assert
none love. Serve the lyre or her arms?
92
See, when your bed, all for should, if your
beauty, for peace may sweat, and lone; yet
freedom. Are thatch, a
patiently I untangled
in its sweetest Lesbia, let alone.
93
Across a voice before. Without
tempestuous stormless summers the long
I will not enough them
not makes me mournful family!
Nothing did honour merriment.
94
Deepening to ’t; i’d rather tie
large wings: and that I was half water:
how! Tho’ hardly knew what
thou kindlest all this sword,
i’ll be its Interpreters. Alas!
95
That wasn’t transparents’ joy. No man may
calls the most! But late August midafternoon
news, something into
sometimes delight of
the matting: then use rigor in one?
96
And Primroses green turfs rear his hand
sharp enough. Not to happy in soft
and foule horror rushes.
Ways: through a mimic,
all pleasance to sleep, Love,—only sleep!
97
And when these presents into nought for
the right thee all my son to shew how
chearefull tear-drops, as
I know what pleasures; give
a pang to them? Call you trembling speech!

Black Dynamite (2009)
Action, Comedy |
Black Dynamite is a American blaxploitation action comedy film starring Michael Jai White, Tommy Davidson, and Salli Richardson. The film was directed by Scott Sanders and co-written by White, Sanders, and Byron Minns, who also co-stars.
The plot centers on former CIA agent Black Dynamite, who must avenge his brother’s death while cleaning the streets of a new drug that is ravaging the community. The film is a parody of and homage to the blaxploitation genre and its era. It had a trailer and funding even before a script was written. Black Dynamite was shot in 20 days in Super 16 format.
In the early 1970s, Black Dynamite, a Vietnam War veteran and former CIA officer, vows to clean up the streets of drug dealers and gangsters after his younger brother Jimmy is killed by a shady organization. O’Leary, Black Dynamite’s former army and CIA partner, reinstates him into the agency because they do not want him seeking vengeance by himself. While trying to get to the bottom of Jimmy’s murder, he finds out that his brother was actually working undercover for the CIA. Black Dynamite also discovers the shady organization is filling the black orphanages with heroin. He declares war on local drug dealers and successfully cleans up the streets, earning him the affection of Gloria, a Black Power activist who works at the local orphanage.
After discovering the government’s involvement in the drug ring, Black Dynamite steals the ledger belonging to corrupt Congressman James which details illegal shipments to a warehouse. Black Dynamite and his team storm the warehouse to capture a big shipment.

Woodbine Willie
They gave me this name like their nature,
Compacted of laughter and tears,
A sweet that was born of the bitter,
A joke that was torn from the years.
Of their travail and torture, Christ’s fools,
Atoning my sin with their blood,
Who grinned in the agony of sharing
The glorious madness of God.
Their name! Let me hear it- the symbol
Of unpaid-unpayable debt,
For the men to whom I oww God’s peace,
I put off with a cigarette.
--G.A. Studdert Kennedy

When Jesus Came to Birmingham was written by an Anglican minister named Geoffrey Stoddard Kennedy, known as “Woodbine Willie”.
When Jesus came to Golgotha, they hanged Him on a tree,
They drove great nails through hands and feet, and made a Calvary;
They crowned Him with a crown of thorns, red were His wounds and deep,
For those were crude and cruel days, and human flesh was cheap.
When Jesus came to Birmingham, they simply passed Him by.
They would not hurt a hair of Him, they only let Him die;
For men had grown more tender, and they would not give Him pain,
They only just passed down the street, and left Him in the rain.
Still Jesus cried, ‘Forgive them, for they know not what they do,’
And still it rained the winter rain that drenched Him through and through;
The crowds went home and left the streets without a soul to see,
And Jesus crouched against a wall, and cried for Calvary.

The Fisherman walked up the hill,
His boat lay on the sand,
His net was on his shoulder still,
His home a mile inland.
And as he walked amongst the whin
He saw a little white seal-skin,
Which he took up in his hand.
Then "How," said he, "can this thing be?
A seal-skin, and no seal within?"
Thus pondered he,
Partly in fear,
Till he remembered what he'd heard
Of creatures in the sea, --
Sea-men and women, who are stirred
One day in every year
To drop their seal-skins on the sand,
To leave the sea, and seek the land
For twelve long hours,
Playing about in sweet sunshine
Amongst the cornfields, with corn-flowers,
Wild roses and woodbine:
Till night comes on, and then they flit
Adown the fields, and sit
Upon the shore and put their seal-skins on,
And slip into the sea, and they are gone.
The Fisherman stroked the fur
Of the little white seal-skin,
Soft as silk, and white as snow;
And he said to himself, "I know
That some little sea-woman lived in
This seal-skin, perhaps not long ago.
I wonder what has become of her!
And why she left this on the whin,
Instead of slipping it on again,
When all the little sea-women and men
Went hurrying down to the sea!
Ah! well, she never meant
It for me,
That I should take it. But I will,
Home to my house upon the hill,"
Said the Fisherman and home he went.
The Fisher dozed before his fire,
The night was cold outside,
The bright full moon was rising higher
Above the swelling tide,
And the wind brought the sound of breakers nigher,
Even to the hill side;
When suddenly
Something broke at the cottage-door,
Like the plash
Of a little wave on a pebbly shore;
And as water frets in the backward drain
Of the wave, seeming to fall in pain,
There came a wailing after the plash. --
The Fisherman woke, and said, "Is it rain?"
Then he rose from his seat,
And opened his door a little way,
But soon shut it again,
With a kind of awe;
For the prettiest little sea-woman lay
On the grass at his feet
That you ever saw:
She began to sob and to say,
"Who has stolen my skin from me?
And who is there will take me in?
For I have lost my little seal-skin,
And I can't get back to the sea."
The Fisherman stroked the fur
Of the downy white seal-skin,
And he said, "Shall I give it her?
But then she would get in,
And hurry away to the sea,
And not come back to me,
And I should be sorry all my life,
I want her so for my little wife."
The Fisherman thought for a minute,
Then he carried the seal-skin to
A secret hole in the thatch,
Where he hid it cleverly, so
That a sharp-sighted person might go
In front of the hole and not catch
A glimpse of the seal-skin within it.
After this he lifted the latch
Of his door once more,
But the night was darker, for
The moon was swimming under a cloud,
So the Fisherman couldn't see
The little sea-woman plainly,
Seeing a fleck of white foam only,
That was sobbing aloud
As before.
"Little sea-woman," said the Fisherman,
"Will you come home to me,
Will you help me to work and help me to save,
Care for my house and me,
And the little children that we shall have?"
"Yes, Fisherman," said she.
So the Fisherman had his way,
And seven years of life
Passed by him like one happy day;
But, as for his sea wife,
She sorrowed for the sea alway,
And loved not her land life.
Morning, and evening, and all day,
She would say
To herself -- "The sea! the sea!"
And at night, when dreaming,
She stretched her arms about her, seeming
To seek little Willie,
It was the sea
She would have clasped, not he --
The great sea's purple water,
Dearer to her than little son or daughter.
Yet she was kind
To her children three,
Harry, fair Alice, and baby Willie;
And set her mind
To keep things orderly.
"Only," thought she,
"If I could but find
That little seal-skin I lost one day."
She didn't know
That her husband had it hidden away;
Nor he
That she longed for it so.
Until
One evening, as he climbed the hill,
The Fisherman found her amongst the whin,
Sobbing, saying, "My little seal-skin --
Who has stolen my skin from me?
How shall I find it, and get in,
And hurry away to the sea?"
Then "She shall have her will,"
Said he.
So
Next morning, when he rose to go
A fishing, and his wife still slept,
He stole
The seal-skin from that secret hole
Where he had kept
It, and flung it on a chair,
Saying, "She will be glad to find it there
To-day
When I am gone,
And yet
Perhaps she will not put it on,"
He said, "Nor go away."
In sleeping his wife wept;
Then the Fisherman took his net,
And crept
Into the chill air.
The night drew on -- the air was still,
Homeward the Fisher climbed the hill.
All day he'd thought, "She will not go;"
And now "She has not," pondered he.
"She is not gone," he said. "I know
There is a lamp in our window,
Put ready on the sill
To guide me home, and I shall see
The dear light glimmering presently,
Just as I round the hill."
But when he turned, there was no light
To guide him homeward through the night.
Then "I am late," he said,
"And, maybe, she was weary
Looking so long for me.
She lays the little ones in bed
Well content,
In the inner room, where I shall find her,
And where she went,
Forgetting to leave the light behind her."
So he came to his cottage door,
And threw it open wide;
But stood a breathing space, before
He dared to look inside.
No fire was in the fireplace, nor
A light on any side;
But a little heap lay on the floor,
And the voice of a baby cried.
Rocking and moaning on the floor,
That little heap
Was the children, tired with crying,
Trying to sleep,
Moaning and rocking to and fro;
But Baby Willie hindered the trying
By wailing so.
Then "Wife! wife!" said the Fisherman,
"Come from the inner room."
There was no answer, and he ran
Searching into the gloom.
"Wife! wife! why don't you come?
The children want you, and I've come home."
"Mammy's gone, Daddy," said Harry --
"Gone into the sea;
She'll never come back to carry
Tired Baby Willie.
It's no use now, Daddy, looking about;
I can tell you just how it all fell out.
"There was a seal-skin
In the kitchen --
A little crumpled thing;
I can't think how it came there;
But this morning
Mammy found it on a chair,
And when she began
To feel it, she dropped
It on the floor --
But snatched it up again, and ran
Straight out at the door,
And never stopped
Till she reached the shore.
"Then we three, Daddy,
Ran after, crying, 'Take us to the sea!
Wait for us, Mammy, we are coming too!
Here's Alice, Willie can't keep up with you!
Mammy, stop -- just for a minute or two!'
But Alice said, 'Maybe
She's making us a boat
Out of the seal-skin cleverly,
And by and by she'll float
It on the water from the sands
For us.' Then Willie clapt his hands
And shouted, 'Run on, Mammy, to the sea,
And we are coming. Willie understands.'
"At last we came to where the hill
Slopes straight down to the beach,
And there we all stood breathless, still,
Fast clinging each to each.
We saw her sitting upon a stone,
Putting the little seal-skin on.
Oh! Mammy! Mammy!
She never said good-bye, Daddy,
She didn't kiss us three;
She just put the little seal-skin on,
And slipped into the sea!
Oh! Mammy's gone, Daddy -- Mammy's gone!
She slipped into the sea!"

JEEP
Jeep is a brand of American automobiles that is a division of FCA US LLC (formerly Chrysler Group, LLC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Jeep has been a part of Chrysler since 1987, when Chrysler acquired the Jeep brand, along with remaining assets, from its previous owner: American Motors Corporation (AMC).
Jeep's current product range consists solely of sport utility vehicles and off-road vehicles, but has also included pickup trucks in the past. Some of Jeep's vehicles, such as the Grand Cherokee and the Wagoneer, reach into the luxury segment. Jeep sold 1.4 million SUVs globally in 2016, up from 500,000 in 2008,[4][5] two-thirds of which in North America,[6] and was Fiat-Chrysler's best selling brand in the U.S. during the first half of 2017. In the U.S. alone, over 2400 dealerships hold franchise rights to sell Jeep-branded vehicles, and if Jeep were spun off into a separate company, it is estimated to be worth between $22 and $33.5 billion — slightly more than all of FCA (US).
Prior to 1940 the term "jeep" had been used as U.S. Army slang for new recruits or vehicles, but the World War II "jeep" that went into production in 1941 specifically tied the name to this light military 4x4, arguably making them the oldest four-wheel drive mass-production vehicles now known as SUVs. The Jeep became the primary light 4-wheel-drive vehicle of the United States Army and the Allies during World War II, as well as the postwar period. The term became common worldwide in the wake of the war. Doug Stewart noted:"The spartan, cramped, and unstintingly functional jeep became the ubiquitous World War II four-wheeled personification of Yankee ingenuity and cocky, can-do determination."
The Jeep marque has been headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, ever since Willys-Overland launched production of the first CJ or Civilian Jeep branded models there in 1945. Its replacement, the conceptually consistent Jeep Wrangler series, remains in production since 1986. With its solid axles and open top, the Wrangler has been called the Jeep model that is as central to the brand’s identity as the rear-engined 911 is to Porsche.
At least two Jeep models (the CJ-5 and the SJ Wagoneer) enjoyed extraordinary three-decade production runs of a single body generation. Jeeps have since the war inspired a number of other light utility vehicles, such as the Land Rover. Many Jeep variants serving similar military and civilian roles have since been designed in other nations.
In lowercase the term "jeep" continues to be used as a generic term for vehicles inspired by the Jeep that are suitable for use on rough terrain.
