Christmas 1984

i went to my brother's for Christmas
holiday in Texas
he had a christmas tree Lot
and we went across the Street
from his House
to have a holiday season's Toke
at his across the street Neighbor's
sweet marijuana smells Wafting
the neighbor's an ex-Marine
was in vietnam So
my brother wanted me to Meet
him as i Was
in vietnam Too
we are Smoking
the marijuana And
the ex-marine asks me "What
do you think about C.O.'s?"
"do you mean Conscientious
objectors?" i Asked
"no," he yelled, "i Mean
commanding officers i Hate
commanding officers!" i Said
"we hated our Commanding
officer Too."

veterans for peace poetry

yeh, funny that.... "C.O." at opposite far ends of the spectrum...

conscripted out, maybe...

George Orwell's
1984
was darkern this.
rats rats Big Brother.

good pome.

Yoeh, I sent it out so my family could read it. I thought that my brother might like it, but all he had to say is that it reminded him of Beethoven's 5th. I wrote back to him, Beethoven's fifth of what?

There is a perceptual gap. Conscripted out.

No telling how my sisters and mom will react. Probably no comment.

I had heard something on the radio while driving that 50% of all on-line computer users have web searched their own name. So I Googled my name, best choice, and got another JW's family website, so I Googled again, best choice, JW veteran, and came up with the vets for peace poetry page/

I am renewing my connection with local VFP, right now laboriously helping the process of next years board elections, plus am going up to Countryside HS and getting a form to fill out so I can speak there to a class about Vietnam, altho at this late date, am not sure when it will happen.

It's good to have community, both physically and cyberly.

That's a great idea for a liquor brand...Beethoven's Fifth.

Let's markit that, yo!

We're claimin' a traidmarc. Sell that hooch, slingit.

it sounds great the idea of you and a class!!! good luck, jimbo!!!
