The Enemy Camp

Two of Ossie’s soldier comrades were caught with him

His not so close partner Paul and close friend Jim

Enemy captors spoke the foreign language of the Vietnamese

English was not their tongue so it surprised Ossie to hear “Please!”

Now we will test your bravery and if you should cry

Escape will be hopeless and in our jails you will die

Make a selection of your favorite fruit and stay in the room next door

You, Jim? Take your pants down, put the apple were we see it no more

Cries came and off to jail Jim was taken then they called Ossie

A grape? Still Ossie was taken to jail he laugh and cried uncontrollably

Man you cuddah get away, a lil grape! and you couldn’t grapple? 

Paul mek me laugh, you shuddah see he, he tek up a pineapple
