The Point Man
He said, "let me make this point… man,
I served two and a half tours in Viet Nam,
Nothing…I mean nothing…goes as planned,
When you are knee deep in human shit,
Trying to find a hole where you can neatly fit,
I'll tell you, nothing there was the way I planned it.
He said, "I wasn't even planning on coming home,
I killed gooks for my country and I'm all alone,
With less than a handful of friends I can call my own,
When I die 'ner to be missed when I'm gone.
I said, "friend, I know you've been through some rough times,
Flashbacks and post stress can play havoc on your mind,
But there's no reason to feel that way. Just leave it all behind ,
The good Lord will take care of you when it comes time for dyin'".
I said, "drink and be merry but don't forget back in Noah's day,
The people drank and were merry, but they went their own way,
There was a great flood of disappointment...needless to say,
Just strive to be happy. End of story. Have a nice day!
