A poem I wrote. Don't blame me if its lame.
Look out Hitler, here we come,
We swear we’ll get you on the run.
We’ll see to Germany’s downfall,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
We’d die for our country, and for one another,
Friend and friend, brother and brother.
We’ll break through your Atlantic Wall,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
The largest seaborne invasion ever,
Happened during stormy weather,
A break occurred, the rain didn’t pour,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
The C-47s are filled with paratroopers,
The Higgins boats all crammed with soldiers.
They’ll come even if they’re hurt and sore,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
The planes soar into the dark night,
With divisions of men about to fight.
6000 ships will land on the French shore,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
Flak is whizzing past the planes,
Reminding the soldiers we aren’t playing games!
“Go Go Go!” Shouts jumpmaster at the door,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
The landing on Utah couldn’t be simpler,
There’re Click clacks of crickets, and bursts of gunfire.
“Flash!” “Thunder!” whispered all the more,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
Paratroopers gather in little groups,
Sainte-Mère-Église taken, well done, troops!
HQ’s set up, everything’s now a bore,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
Omaha beach: A different story,
This one is darn tough and bloody.Stuck behind tank traps, our guns roar,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
Germans shooting from the bunkers,
Beach is littered with dead soldiers.
The scene is one of blood and gore,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
Pointe-Du-Hoc is scaled by rangers,
We can get through, thanks, engineers.
More than 15000 men have come ashore,
On June six nineteen forty-four.
The Longest Day comes to a compromise,
A decisive victory for us, the Allies,
This battle was what helped us win the war,
The Battle of June six nineteen forty-four.
