Trivia 10-21-19

[Trivia Master]

One night as I was sleeping, I heard an awful sound,
I ran up to the window and took a look around.
I saw some Rebels in the street, knew there'd be a tussle,
I had to get away; and WOW! I had to hustle.

My wife was with me visiting, I saw she was awake.
"Run!" she shouts, "I'll stall them, for you must escape".
I left and started fleeing through the Fairfax countryside,
the Rebs are getting closer; I need a place to hide.

The soldiers are persistent led by that Ghost in Gray,
but I am in a frenzy; I must find a hideaway.
Time is running out for me, I can hardly think,
and then I spy a little house but boy it sure does stink!!

My wife is good at talking and holds them long enough,
I'm underneath this little house, my hiding place is tough.
They grabbed my uniform and hat for I had hid quite well,
but when I left my hiding place; Oh Boy - Did I Smell!!
