A Tv Classic

Captured by the Nazis,
Destined for compound,
The many came together
Though, seldom ever frowned.
I often sat and wondered
Through all the tragedy
How this could be made light of
And portrayed there on TV.
The humor was astounding.
The situation’s wild,
But Hogan’s Heroes was
A favorite of this child.
I remember, weekly, tuning in
To see if they would bolt.
Truly what I remember most,
Is the quote from Sargeant Schultz,

“I see nothz-eeeng!”
