The Simply Snickers prompt for the week was wait, war, water, write (or right).Mama, I promise I'll write
Every day that I can
I'll be alright
You'll see.
Mama, it's no fun this war.
I seen guys wounded and
yellin' what for
Cause it hurts.
Mama, they were firin' mortars
And had us pinned down good
Couldn't get water
without gettin' shot.
Mama, just can't hardly wait
to be comin' on home
I tempted fate
And oh Lord, I lived.
Mama, my time's up
And very, very soon
We'll have sup
All together agin.
