Woke up way to early,

On a cold friday morn.

Will have to hope sandman

Returns and I sleep till dawn.

 

I don't need much sleep,

Hangover from the war.

Don't know how I survived,

When sleep was so deprived.

 

Good thing I was a sharp shooter,

Who could peel an apple to its core.

A hundred yards is all I needed,

To set my sights for a score.

Never actually faced combat of the severity kind, George. I am in awe of those who did and lived to talk about it To those who didn't survive I don't have words to describe how I feel.
