Some of my fondest memories
From Vietnam to be sure
Was whenever the boys from Down Under
Would show up on the scene
They amazed me with their accents
I could listen for hours to their speech
They were our greatest ally
Fighting side-by-side
One thing for sure
They knew how to party
Eating steak, shrimp, and lobster
Cooked on the Barbie
Drinking beer and singing about our Sheila’s
We would sing, dance, and laugh until dawn
To the boys from Down Under
I raise my glass to give a toast
Gunners and Diggers
Awesome Friends

Its hard to imagine that Australia actually went to war in Vietnam, but it did happen. I wasn't born or long after the war ended, but I get the impression of the cameraderie here.
Nice write, Doc. |
