by Cpl. Robert L. Cook
Jan. 42~Sept. 45
The Corps was always good to me,
I served it fairly well.
But whether I was good for it,
I really cannot tell.
I slogged and jogged,
Toted and packed,
I dragged and I did carry.
I fought and fired,
In heat and mire,
In situations scary.
Then they finished up the war,
Said they needed me no more.
The reason kind of made me sore,
'Twas, "For the Good of the Corps."
