The battlefield set with stainless steel
The prisoner gazed at the scene, surreal
he, with his simple military eye,
the soldier known as the 'Lower GI’

The prodding came in southern climes
Words expelled! (not allowed in rhymes)
Such pain he felt, but bore with grace
probing ‘trenches’ far from his face

When torture done, he rose to go
hoping never again, this pain to know
He took it all with typical grit
but twas a long time before he could sit

Best wishes,
