Show THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE Sent in by Frank B. Shafter, somewhere in the So. Pacific. Somewhere in the South Sea islands, Where the Sun is like a curse, And each day is followed By another slightly worse. j Where the coral dust blows thicker Than the deserts shitting sand, And the white man dreams of a finer. And slightly cooler land. Somewhere in the South Pacific Where a woman's never seen Where the sky is never cloudy And the jungles always green. Somewhere in the blue Pacific Where the mail is always late, And even the last years magazines maga-zines Are considered up-to-date. And when "Maytag Charlie" nightly Robs a man of blessed sleep, Where there's no beer or whiskey To sooth the cursed heat. Somewhere beneath the South- erri cross The Gooney's moan and cry, And malaria mosquitoes bite And wait for us to die. Oh .take me back to Utah, The place I love so well, For this God forsaken Island Is too damn close to hell. Author Unknown |
