MORE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN MY LIFETIME

1940 was a very bad year
The next few were even worse
I was a baby wrote my first poem
Roses is red
Blueberries turn purple
It all goes good with mush
And Maple surple
New Soviet attack forces Finns back
Germans begin construction of concentration camps
Nazi air strikes kill 108 in English channel
Sure sounds like war beginning to me
Mom found a rat in my crib
I was feeding him some purple mush
We could get along why not the world?
Churchill now in as Prime Minister
The west grew up in Levi's
Holland and Belgium surrender to Nazis
Does this sound like the Ice hows today
Roosevelt promises 50'000 war pilots
Where is this leadership today?
German troops parade through Paris
Wilkie nominated to seek presidency
First draft number drawn in US
My dad flunked his physical heart troubles
I would have enlisted and only 1940
