The Pt 109

The movie called, The PT 109 Portrayed the war, and an uncle of mine. The film was written, and was true at that For all his shipmates, he would go to bat. President Kennedy, was in command My Uncle Lenny, was his right-hand man. We were at war, with Japan in the past Hoping it would end, not long would it last. For dusk had set in, when their boat was hit Fire had started, in half the boat split. They gathered their friends, and swam to a shore They gave their all, till they could give no more. Some shipmates were hurt, and needed to eat Most didn’t have, any shoes on their feet. Many days went by, and nobody came Their moods were dampened, they just weren’t the same. Scared and frightened, it was so hard to cope Their rescuers came, before losing hope. Excited and tired, to camp they went When they recovered, to war they were sent.
