Dear Cheryl,
Mama mined it.
Wrapped a bomb and
a baby in a blanket.
Blew two grunts to
smither-fuckin’-eens.
Whoever heard of a baby booby-trap?
Capt’n says we’re fighting Commies
so our sons and daughters can crap
in a flush toilet.
All I want to do is come home in one piece
and make babies and live a quiet life in a
time and place without war.
With love, Phil
P.S. I hope I never get used to this.
