POETS CORNER TO A VOLUNTEER (By Wilbur Williams) A loaded truck passed on the street, A voice called out my name. I couldn't see the one who spoke, From deep within the truck it came. The army truck was bound for camp, The boys were on their way. To train to fight for Uncle Sam And help to win the fray. I thought of Bob so strong and true, We once had been like brothers. He must have been the one who spoke, I never knew the others. I'd heard that he had volunteered And was to leave that day. I can't describe the way I felt, To watch him roll away. I bit my lip, and swallowed hard Then breathed a prayer for him. For safety through the days ahead, And his return again. I thought of thousands more like Bob The finest In the land. And knew that We could rest as sured. We'd placed our cause in worthy hands. And woe betide you Slanty Eyes, When you meet up with those. You'll pay then lor your crimes In full, They'll not accept, "So sorry, Please."
