dive one day. What I didn't tell you is that he is madly in love with a girl at Ames. With rural naivete' he tells me all about her very frequently. With this foreword you will be better able to follow my verses. Pullman Poetry Sped along on clicking wheels, Wooded slope and glassy meadows flashing by, Southward bound from Carolina into Georgia Determined, restless, ride the aces of the sky. Leader of them all, Norwegian born, A daring, reckless, strafing fool, Fearless fellow, bold, stranger to defeat ME109 Hugeback - Viking cold and cruel. Small of build, yet of stature large, Skipper is he of a bloodlustful crew. Fighting16, young, eager and anxious, Battling for liberty and a light brown brew But far is the heart of the Norseman brave, From bullet and bomb and aerial danger. For love is his master to woman a slave, Lover and killer - what could be stranger?
