FOUR VETS AND YOUR SON

                      1      
Corky and his Hubcaps are a success.
a birthday boys fingers sore from steel strings.
                          
                      2
He had been decorated with every Medal they could give.
loud and pompous in love with the throb in his voice

                      3
Falling from his chair beer spilling, he hides tears
that one tour, those two weeks still a nightmare

                      4
In Vietnam, he served his country well
glowing with pride planning a ride to the great black wall

Dreams of flying, confident from gaming
Boot camp starts in a week

I'm not a big fan of this structure, but I like this one more than I should.

In many ways, it leaves you begging for more and, in this case, I'm not sure you should give it. Like the black wall, the sheer power is there as a list.

mmmm:

You like more than you should.  That says soo much and so little.  But then again thanks.

Rick
