Free Cee What Happened To the Other One

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER ONE? “so tell me daddy, why do you only have one arm? a query posed by seven year old charm a daughter in crinoline who daddy won't let come to harm and when daddy held daughter in his one arm it brought about calm it was a long story to tell about entering and exiting hell there were intricacies to recall and they all hang on his memory's wall he thought long and hard about what to say she hadn't ever asked until that day she was so pink, so perky and pretty but the last thing he wanted was his little girl's pity well honey, he stammered and began his tale in one part of the story we win, the other we fail we were all doing what we were called upon to do a hundred and ten men thrown into the jungle without even a clue no one had any idea why we were the only ones there we all hoped there was some help coming from somewhere but none ever came even as we ran out of ammunition and surviving that battle became our ambient ambition but we were all alone and bullets were flying and when I say I was scared, sweetie, i'm not lying so you ask why I have one arm and it's because our enemy was strategically strong and we were in the midst of war in a place where we didn't belong © 2012....copyright PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
