An Ode To The Unknown Soldier

      An Ode To

           The

Unknown Soldier

Thanks be.

I was beginning to wonder

                   seriously

If we Americans were

Going to go down

                 in history -

               the history

              as written

By the victors - 

To be known as

The Pushovers.

But I hear

In the near distance

The cavalry

Coming.

Just in the Nick

Of time 

I see.

Hey.

The American way.

To the very

           End.

How

Fitting.
