Be All That You Can Be
Sun and sand and beach
Life has some lessons for me
Be all you can be!
Sad conversations
May healing come to you soon
And children be safe!
For all you have done
And wherever you may be
May you rest in peace!

Ah, Unpraised Soldier
The tall veteran
wears a camouflage faded cap
and dark shades to hide
his smooth, scarred face: doesn't he wish
that somebody shook his hand...
ah, unpraised soldier!

Faithful Five to Survive
When I stand my post
What will bother me the most
Downhill people coast.
Up myself will pick
Back to my post moved quick
Faithful surely stick.
My post proved to me
Soldier I was meant to be
Sure you will agree.

Old Soldier's Disease:
Civil War soldiers would march
Pick and eat cherries
No toilet for them
No toilet paper either
Just woods, trees and leaves
The result's the same
Out fast and loose in the end!
Cherries are the pits!
