Having Some Fun Writing...In My Bunker...In Iraq Poem by Philip Lore

Mickey Mantle, home run hitter,
Three's Company, with John Ritter.
Don King, prancing in the ring,
Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Carole King.
JFK, Jackie O
Watching Leno's late night show.
American Idol,
Paula, Randy, and Simon,
Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Frankie Lymon.

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck,
Porky Pig, and Momma Cass.
Drinking beer from a tall, cold glass,
Quarterback completes a touchdown pass.
Play the blues, blue suede shoes,
Pay the toll, Rock and Roll.

Italy,
Sicily,
Paris France,
The two step dance.
Germany,
World War Two,
Serving for the Red, White, and Blue.
Got a hole in my left shoe.
Baby, I'm so in love with you.

Throw the dice,
Snake eyes,
The war in Iraq,
A soldier dies.
Freddie Crougar,
Scary guy,
Howard Hughes,
He loved to fly.
Godzilla, Wolfman,
Dracula and old King Kong,
Al Pacino, Robert DiNiro,
Jerry Lewis, Cheech and Chong.

Aerosmith, MC Hammer,
BJ Thomas,
Johnny Cash.
Fred Flintstone, George Jetson,
Michael Jordan,
The cast of MASH.

People drinking at a bar,
Paul Newman's racing car.
Bob Hope, Batman,
Jill St. John, Vietnam.

Annie Oakley, Wyatt Earp,
The Starship Enterprise,
Captain Kirk.
Telethon, Morrison and the Doors,
You are mine and I am yours.

Holy mackerel, gee wiz, Wow!
Lord have mercy, Holy cow.
Speeding train, sleet and rain,
Iraq can really be a pain.

Bullet holes, save your souls,
IED's and RPG's.
Machine gun,
Never fun,
Incoming rockets,
You better run.
This little poem was fun to rhyme,
I hope you read some more of mine.
