From Seventy-two to Eighty-three, I took a rest from reality To watch these doctors laugh and cry. (And some of them would even die.) It was a story of Korean War Which had ended twenty years before, But Vietnam War was in full force And we were all involved of course. The horrors of war were plain to see And was treated without frivolity. When lives had been saved and work was done These doctors brewed their own rare fun. There was Hot Lips and her lover Frank, Who were often victims of a prank. Hawkeye and his manic friends Tormented them with no amends. Staged in Army Mobil Surgical Hospital With conditions less than hospitable, These doctors did the best they could With resources sometimes not so good. An oleo of humor and great drama I could watch it with my own mama. There was no lewdness ever shown But scenes to tickle your funny bone. Its last episode drew a major crowd. One hundred twenty five million it’s avowed. This record I think, still stands today And perhaps will never go away. I’m sure that somewhere in this nation, This show is still in syndication. I advise you watch it just because It is the best that ever was. By; Joyce Johnson TV show “Mash”
