(686) January 9, 2012: Memorial Bubble Gum

MEMORIAL BUBBLE GUM

 

We had no choice, we had to go,

We took ten million men.

We brought them home in body bags,

How brave they all have been.

 

We celebrate their valiant names

Engraved on bubble gum.

We chew them in our mouths awhile

Until the flavor's gone.
