Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Return To Sender

Those enemy soldiers, they weren’t too well trained
They weren’t gonna take back the ground that we’d gained
But I thought I’d copped it with no shred of doubt
When that hand grenade landed in my dugout
I’m telling you boys, my resolve didn’t crack
I just pulled the pin out and threw it right back

Lindsay Laurie December 23, 2021 at 4:15 PM Phew Terry ... your quick thinking saved a clean up and change of clothes - thanks Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood December 24, 2021 at 3:05 AM Nearly… the sergeant major gave it back and said ‘did you drop this?’ ;-) Terry

Tom Cunningham December 23, 2021 at 1:38 PM Lol. Fingers in the ears. Tom Terry Flood December 23, 2021 at 3:08 PM Of course, you’d recall the original version that would be considered un-woke nowadays, Tom. What a messed up world we’re in. Have a great Christmas. Terry

Jan Allison December 23, 2021 at 12:42 AM what an explosive ending, you made me giggle thanks Terry:-) hugs Jan xx Terry Flood December 23, 2021 at 3:10 PM A woke joke from an old classic, Jan. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

L Milton Hankins December 22, 2021 at 7:00 PM I'll bet they were sorry they tossed it at you! Terry. Quick thinking saves the day. I probably would have just stopped and stared at it...for a few seconds! Terry Flood December 23, 2021 at 3:11 PM That’s because I’ve had fifty years to think about it, Milt. Terry

Ilene Bauer December 22, 2021 at 3:57 PM ha! good move, terry! very funny... Terry Flood December 22, 2021 at 4:09 PM An old joke that was probably better, but not ‘woke’ in its original form. Glad you enjoyed this version, Ilene. Terry
