    "Tales of yore"

    # 7 November 23 2003

     

    Foregoing life limb, and

    Happiness! Thinking someday,

    We could rest, While fighting in

    A far away land, My wife

    Nancy, Became pregnant!

    By another Man!

     

    With our Q-allotment money

    They did ride, She bought a

    Red Mustang, nineteen sixty-five

    That Q-allotment money meant for

    Home soon dwindled

    And then it was Gone!

     

    We humped through the

    Jungle, Rice patties and Fields

    All day long, for our C-ration meals

    Neither wrong nor right, We

    Fought for our lives, As Charlie

    You see, proved quite an adversary!

     

    It reminded me or tales of yore

    When the British were on our Shore!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
