Belle, thank you for the comment. Sorry for the slow response, but I haven't been around much lately.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hilarious stuff that goes straight to MyPoemList! My side hurts from laughing...
Ron, once again you have outdone yourself. I laughed all the way through this one, especially on stanza four. To my favorites!
stanza four is my favorite, of course. please explain 'wet noodle' here, or isn't there a good explanation. I think 'noodle' is (also) used as slang for brain/mind/head. ?
Really, Bri, you of all people should not need an explanation for wet noodle as used here!
Bri, thank you so much for commenting. Please read my poet's notes if you haven't already done so.
In your case, Bri, your noodle and your head are the same thing! : )
be glad you didn't lose it in Timbuktu. I searched of 'u.s. marines in Timbuktu. but failed in my search. It's in Mali in Africa and there WERE battles in Africa during 2nd world war.
As Ron said, he was just making a rhyme here, and not trying to be factual. But if U. S. troops HAD been in Timbuktu, they probably would have been army, not marines.
Dear LeeAnn, thank you so much for being the first to comment on my humble poem.
