An Ode to Omaha Beach

On June 6th 1944
We hit the beach
And they dropped the door
We poured out like animals
We were getting shot and dying
Soldiers were getting shot
Dying in the boats
We bled from our throats
And that is not all she wrote
Soldiers dived into the water
Taking off their equipment
And their gear
Having no fear
They swam to the beach
All wet and soaked
Trying to take cover
As the Germans were firing
Some men lay on the sand
With red all over their hand
Trying to fix a man
Soldiers ran and ran trying not to get shot
Explosions everywhere
On the ground
Some got caught
In the explosions
They went flying up and then down
Onto the ground
Maybe dead or alive
The solders tried
To survive
There was fence
That was blocking our way
To claim victory for that day
We took it down
With dynamite
And went over
Ready to fight
We took out the main gunner

Stuck in the Mud!
As soon as I got my hunting license me and my brother were always out squirrel hunting, partridge hunting and deer hunting. But what we really love is to duck hunt. Robin Comings is the man who showed us the techniques and spots of the trade. When my brother and I finally could afford our own decoys, calls, guns and waders we went out around our house, which has a nice selection of ponds.
The Jericho's House
Submitted by soomiec on October 16, 2008 - 11:03. After going into Burlington for lunch and a shopping trip the Jericho family returned home. They would return home to something big and blood ridden in their basement, something that could make you deaf, something with long brown hair and ominous eyes that could send shivers down your spine.
As usual the Jericho family entered their driveway singing “She’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes.” As Mr. Jericho turned the steering wheel of the station wagon, the car squeaked and bounced up and down as they entered the drive way very slowly. When the engine was shut down the family all sang the last bit of the song, laughed a bit and then brought all their bags of clothes inside.
“Hey Billy go let the dog outside so he can go to the bathroom.”
