Mekong Delta Riverine by Gary Jacobson
Way down on the Mekong Delta Riverine Patrol some of the toughest grunts The Nam’s ever seen Half man Half alligator Chew Vietcong up and spit’m out later
Doing the wars blazing bullet sashay I can't help but wonder... Is this judgment day? Thrust into the Delta, a dominant, Malevolent, VC haven, Providing sanctuary for the cowardly craven, To mount guerrilla attacks on Saigon, From safe refuge in the muddy Mekong.
Read the rest of the poem, to music "Have You Ever Seen the Rain," and view the pictures at: http://namtour.com/mekong.html
Gary Jacobson, webmaster of "Vietnam Picture Tour," http://namtour.com/namtour.html A walk in "the park" grunts called Vietnam, with the 1st Air Cavalry on comba t patrol. Experience chilling reality to leave the sweet and sour taste of "the Nam" pungent on your tongue, the smell of "the Nam" acrid in your nostrils, and textures of "the Nam" imbedded in you as though you were walking beside me in combat.
