No Poetry In a Foxhole -- Contest
No poetry in a foxhole when the shelling starts
Battle-weary soldiers contest
Well, there are no poets in a foxhole either
I was about to protest...
Rat-a-tat-tat, Rat-a-tat-tat, Rat-a-tat-tat
Grinning bullets whiz by my grimacing hat
Feel what happens to a foxhole
When a poet gets ahold of that
There's always some poetry somehow, everywhere
What if there was no poetry? -- That's simply nowhere
