What Did You Do In the War, Daddy

"What did you do in the big war, Daddy?" (Is often asked by a soldier's laddie.) "I'm proud you asked me that son; I packed a golf bag and gun, Since I was the Gen'ral's guard and caddy!"

G'day Robert … did you show the General where he was going wrong with his golf. I thought that may be the reason you carried a gun as well - thanks Robert - Lindsay

LOL, a sure winner for any limerick contest here, my friend. I hope you are doing well. Mum has Alzheimers & a benign brain tumour but we're both doing OK : )
