The Rat Patrol Nostalgia
The desert sun, a shimmering hazy sheet, A jeep's low rumble on the burning shifting heat. That opening theme, a brassy bold fanfare, Announcing danger hanging in the air. Remember Troy and Moffitt, Hitchcock, Tully too, Four rugged figures in that khaki dusty hue. Against the Afrika Korps, a constant daring fight, Beneath the endless canvas...

Willie Winkie lived in a land of magic, in the region called Butterfly Haven; For Willie was a diminutive elf, like the violet blossoms, of purple fixation. Willie and his beloved wife, Elvira, lived highly organized, pleasant lives; For magic impels ways and customs to differ, like buds, as spring arrives. Everyone called Willie Winkie, 'Wee,' since most elves...

Border Patrol
The East West German Border A heavily guarded barbed wire fence There for containment Not for defence He sat alone in the Mess Methodically drinking Trying to numb his mind Trying to stop thinking. He'd been leading his patrol Out along the wire Had nearly lost control and Let his men open fire. He was almost too late With his urgent shout One or two of the...

The kitten patrol was alert and ready for something to start. Hiding in the hills among the leaves of autumns’ trees. Kicking oak and maple offerings out of their foxholes. What do you see Captain? The head guard kitten asked. The other kittens were at a loss as to what they were expecting. The road was clear, there was no...

The Patrol
We booked on the radio as was the way And out the station we drove away The radio prattles its continual banter As we policed the streets at a slow canter There were disturbances some loud but not unique And pub brawls to make the night complete There were shoppies on day shift With neighbourly disputes sorting out the grift Throw in...

Still On Patrol
Can you hear the whispers brought on by the wind storming? Carried true by the harpers, the tale the howls are forming? Came a knock at the farmer's door, a mailed fist with a fate to turn. A sob, a wail, a call to war, a boy, a son, home soon to yearn. Soon a soldier strode from youth, to the beat of the...

In my country, gangs of fiends own the night. In my country, we lived broken lives of torment. My family fled with little but our naked terror. Bleeding and blistered, our feet carried us hundreds of miles. But I always had my familia. We migrated in trucks, never sure we could trust coyotes. We roamed scorching desert, never sure we would find...

Crash
The night began like any other, I grabbed my gear, laced up my boots, And threw spit shine on the leather. Rifle slung and bag in hand with the usual friendly banter I had yet to reach my ride As the mic began to chatter. Heading to a crash, one that happened at high speed Smoke debris and gasoline Unsure of what...

Desert Highway Patrol
The sun is sinking in the west On a long hot summer day There’s just the radio, my patrol car and me As I look to the traffic on the highway The holiday crowd is passing through On the long haul homeward bound There are long lines of cars As travelers pass me by Some of the drivers give me a wave Whilst others...
