Soldiers Poem

Soldiers

By Chuck Robinson
********

Me and Bubba is drankin beer and ponderin' about why things is the way they is.
We got to thankin bout all the soldiers that has been to war so me and Bubba can stay free to drank our beer and ride our motorsickle.
They all seem to go to war and live in Hell.......then they
go back home and Hell follers em home and don't ever go away.


I sure do ask the good Lord ever nite to help them.
My Daddy was a soldier. Daddy always said bein a soldier
was better than when he was an orphan kid.
He said he was used to sleepin in the cold,
but at least he got to eat regular when he was solderin'.


He went away to war for 4 years in the thang they called WWII .........
and Momma said he was never the same when he come back home.....
at least Daddy is with the Lord and other soldiers now and has peace.
Cousin Tony was who we called Beaver Cleaver.
He was always so nice and respectful........


He became a U.S. marine just like Gomer Pyle , but he went to
some place called Vietnam . Cousin Tony came back home,
but he were'nt never Cousin Tony again.
Cousin Tony said killin and seein killin
causes a man to go off the deep end of the pond.


He let his whiskers and hair grow out......
and drank way too much shine..........
He said the shine let him sleep
at nite. He said otherwise, he had nitemares of the killin.
Cousin Tony never could keep no job, and ain't had no home.


He sure was messed up. He went to that hospital for
soldiers and they said he was OK and sent him away.
Cousin Tony went to sleep that nite and never woke up.
I guess the good Lord decided the best way to help
Cousin Tony was to bring him to HIS house so
HE could watch over him.


There just ain't no figerin out thangs sometimes.
Cousin Robbie wanted to go to that college place
to get more skoolin', but he was like his Momma
and Daddy and did'nt have no money.
Some man in a fancy suit with stripes on his sleeves
told Cousin Robbie that if would would be a U.S. Marine,
they would pay for his college skoolin'......


Cousin Robbie went be a U.S. Marine like Gomer and
Cousin Tony. He did not get in skool right then.
He had to go to a thang called Desert Storm war and
came back a year later without a scratch on his head.
He finally got in his college skool place
and was learnin to be somethin called a chemist.


His first trip home from skoolin, his car went
off the road and Cousin Robbie went to the Lord's house.
Just ain't no figerin thangs out sometimes.
I did figer out one thang though, that
Bubba is a pea brain. I tried splainin to him I don't
wear no uniform, but I is workin for the U.S. Army
and tryin to make things better for the soldiers.


Bubba don't understand the burden sometimes
when the soldiers come home all messed up.
I go to sleep peaceful at nite after I ask the good Lord
to watch over all them soldiers that has made sure I can.
Bubba has the motorsickle runnin....time to go........
