Four Hours ofBoredom
FOUR HOURS OF BOREDOM
Static hum more static more hum
Finally a voice was it Bobby Tynski
Bombay Three this is Fox Three
Every half hour like a broken drum
Vignettes of history got this kid in the Corps
Guadalcanal Tarawa Iwo and Pelileu
Inchon Landing and Frozen Chosin too
Sitting here was not what I joined for
A radio watch of four long hours
How do you read me and then the hum
I opened the letter again Dear Bun
In the dark silence we shared what was ours
Another half hour and then Fritz’s voice
This is Able Three do you read me over
Another peek at the letter from my lover
No sense complaining it had been my choice
