Story Teller III (Pain in the butt)


Hey Bradley come over here and sit by the fire

ah this is perfect weather for camping young fellow

I sure am glad that we had a spare truck tire

I marked where the hole was I marked it in yellow


tomorrow we'll go to town and get us a new one

but now it's time to sit back and just enjoy

camping is a great time to tell stories and have fun

grandad has a story he wants you to hear boy


here we'll have a beer now don't tell your dad

you know you're almost old enough to go off to war

I have a story I want to share with you lad

it's a story my grandad told me one night in a bar


he was just 17 and felt he had a duty to do

the Germans had started throwing their weight

so he joined Uncle Sam's army and off he flew

of course his family was concerned for his fate


only 2 weeks overseas on dangerous foreign soil

scary face to face combat with other young boys

he was fighting in Africa protecting their oil

these guns and bullets were real not just toys


these kids were scared but they were brave

fighting for freedom from Jerry domination

many of these youngsters still did not shave

they'd give their lives in honor of their nation


well the guns were blazing bullets zinging by

trying to stay low keep your head down out of fear

then he felt the burning pain but he would not cry

he took friendly fire two rounds right in his rear

Awesome Gomer LePoet, You sure have been on a role here lately. Writing up a storm. And some good ones I might add.
This one was awesome rhyming and flow as usual.
