Said a sweet young chick from Finland
“I’m so happy to be from the inland,”
It’s simply a fact
The Finn girls attract
The finest fellows from the Rhineland.
written June 25, 2021
if the boy did not return from the rhineland
he remained social and loquacious
he versed in music and was quite ambidextrous
his toy airplanes glittered in the sand
he lost his footing, he showed his hand
he sought to be carless and frivolous
his senses remained extemporaneous
he listened carefully for the iron gland
his gift was not to be unfounded
his turn was never to be
at long last, he finally did blossom
though lonely and confounded
to the flames of woe in the sea
his mind was wretched, among the flotsam and jetsam.
Darling D,
I know you love poetry
Of Oak tree
Spree..
El Dorado, D
There you sit with Kings
you are a bee of bees
You travel the seven seas
For your prince Rabbit
Minces down the street
Your color is ripe wheat...
Petite
Sweeter than sugar beet of Rhineland
There you sing and rhyme with a dance band
Play in golden sand, sky envies your pair of blue eyes
Hey see the girl is a surprise
No surmise, a real guy's prize
Highs.
I know your dream
You are sweet sixteen and prim
You love poems so I gleam
Exactly a boy gets girl' theme
whipped cream

BOMBER COMMAND
It won’t happen to me
he said,
we’re Bomber Command.
It won’t happen to me
he said.
We must blow the enemy out of the sky
he said.
we’re Bomber Command
The pride and belligerence of the Reich
it’s Hitler’s war on Europe
and it’s my sixteenth sortie out tonight,
he said
we’re Bomber Command
Somewhere in the Rhineland
his body lies
He gave his life for his country
but he gave mine too
in Bomber Command.
