"Tattered"

“Tattered”

7/28/18

Miserable day at hand

winds blowing gale force

icy rains and freezing cold

clothes in disarray felt

the enemy just over there

fire intensifying preparing

attack is soon coming

hunkering down once more

tattered flying our flag

they know where we are

baiting them on to us

hoping not to wait much

LT has us ready sharp

smart little cuss he is

here they come screaming

holding our fire a bit

then the signal given

as a solid volley heard

screams and then quiet

tattered our flag still

we too are tattered

awaiting the next attack

miserable the night next!
