Hi Mark,
I guess I feel a little cheated by this poem. I want to know more about why grandaddy won't go near it. The history hint implies something ominous (e.g. a lynching), but if it's that extreme, the father's response then feels heartless. Or a family suicide, same thing.
Maybe I'm making too much out of a simple poem.
