Sit For Short Spell

Sit for Short Spell Do I need to be in lead or left behind Or end up lost where no one can find Perhaps exactly where I want to be Half way between you and also me. Middle of roader really could be called Over hill and dale things have hauled Ending up at dearly beloved's door Seven years ago and then four score. Troops were in Gettysburg so I heard At Appomattox Courthouse was word War had been over and finally done Still are all in debate as to who won. All of this started to set the stage For twenty-first century and computer age When World Wars were finally complete And our enemy Germany we did defeat. We have lots of looters and saboteurs That all of us now must have to endure While we in America have much compassion Middle East has been home for any assassin. How much longer must this have to go one Until whole world is wiped out and then done Some say right it truly may be hard to tell So what we should is sit for a short spell. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
