The best answer for a Dear John

The Dear John

The Marine Corp sends it’s men all over everywhere,
And sometimes they’re just hung out for lengthy duty there,

Bad luck Sergeant Buckley didn’t get the best of breaks,
Got a tearful Dear John letter from his girlfriend in the states,

She was sorrowful and weepy , but then to beat the Jack,
She wanted him to send her glossy picture back,

She wanted it for giving to her new lover guy
Said I hate to take it from you, but this will be good bye

This, I know will break your heart, I know you’re gonna miss me,
But you’ve been gone so very long, I need someone to kiss me,

Buckley was a true Marine and took this pretty good,
It irked him that his true love had dumped him like she would,

Went to all his buddies found a plan, the very best,
Said friends I need your girly photo’s ,pin ups and all the rest,

He gathered up a bundle, had a stack of twenty nine,
Some were dressed in overalls and some with bare behinds,

For the most part all were beauties, and all were looking great,
Now he had the answer for his former girl friend in the states

His note read . “Sorry Sweetheart, Your letter is so sad,
I hate to have to tell you ,but my memory is bad,

I’ve tried my best to find it ,but your face I just don’t see,
Please pick out your glossy photo. Send the others back to me.”
