Of Tetley's and V-2's
Of Tetley’s and V-2's
(or, “Why Not to Bomb the Brits”)
by Michael R. Burch

The English are very hospitable,
but tea-less, alas, they grow pitiable ...
or pitiless, rather,
and quite in a lather!
O bother, they're more than formidable....

Premium Member No Headstone For Her Mother


I search rows for a name engraved,
     Engraved here, not native Poland;
          Poland, war and ethnic cleansing,
             Cleansing, her mom thrown in a hole.

Premium Member If You'Re Not Part of the Solution You'Re Part of the Problem
Girl child born post WWII, 
always an uphill battle
killed a Barbie doll or 2!
Tried to show them I was as good as a BOY!
Stars and Stripes in their eyes
Worked for peace but war brought what they prized?
For war you need boy toys.
Civil rights YES, you bet, all God’s children should be free.
Worked all my life to help others,
hopefully it also helped me.

Premium Member The Flying Aces
The Aces are coming the female ducklings said. There’s Dash!
Duckling adoration toward these valiant flyers with panache’.
One glided in on half a fighter jet that had a huge gash.
They entered the French restaurant and made a great splash!

They are heroes! The French ducklings yelled out with glee.
You can have him and Jim but save Henry Ace for me!
There was a clear favorite, as we other officers could see.
My brother Henry left with a smile that said “hee hee hee”....
