"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!
