Sunset

Remember, remember,
The Tenth of December,
The Longest call I’ve ever got.
The hour eleven
Two thousand and seven
Shall never be forgot.

Remember, remember,
Eleventh December,
The jungle hat that I had bought.
Though this buy was sudden
What great jubilation
This Happy Hat had brought.

Remember, remember,
The Twelfth of December,
The Friend I had longed for and sought.
Her firm Confirmation
Brought peace and elation
To one whose heart had not.

Remember, remember,
On Thirteen December,
Remember the war that was fought.
Though many have fallen
Our Victory is certain
With friends we hold the fort.

Remember, remember,
Fourteenth December,
The biggest round I’ve ever shot.
The Punch of percussion
And Force of destruction
Was very, very hot.
