A VETERAN’S MERIT AVION
Right now my age is eighty-eight,
My cause for thanks is very great,
I have a mind and still can think,
My memory is not on the blink;
I have two eyes and both can see,
And everything looks clear to me;
My ears are keen and I can hear,
So I have neither dread nor fear;
Two hands I have to do some work,
And they are never known to shirk;
Both feet I have with which to walk,
One tongue I have and I can talk;
Can tell
And still
I always
And rest
My nerves perform a constant feait;
My lieart retains a steady beat;
My body holds its normal heat,
The flow of blood is found complete;
In all this rhyme there is no boast,
Of blessings mine have been a host;
I fancy now you all will see,
Why veterans ought to thankful be.
Just once again I wish to state,
My age is only eighty-eight.
