“December 15, 1970 – Yokahama U.S.N.H.”

And she sang to me

‘I Wanna Make It with you’

at my hospital bed.

“For A Cheese-n-Such Plate”

Brother comes by for

parsley and accepts rosemary too:

skips the rest of song.

“Day 58 PISC – 1967” Tanka 59 ‘We Change The Words’

“Our DI is gaining weight

’cause of all the pussy he ate”

‘stead of candy!

sung only once on ‘The Grinder’

in front of our full series!

 

(Concocted during a ‘smoker’s circle’ and taught sub-rosa to the platoon for a once-only singing, right after the original Sergeant Bongiorno taught us “…because of all the candy he ate,” possibly in front of people who might not have been amused.  We got no flack whatsoever and felt real ‘salty.’)
