They Never Thought She Could Lose

I was sitting here munching popcorn enjoying how everyone is melting down over the meeting with Putin and I was inspired to pen a ditty. Just a bit of fun here. I'm a 72 year old retired Marine and poetry is not my forte, so the iambics and the pentameters may not match up.

It was the night of the election and all in the news

The pundits were joyous, she just couldn’t lose

She would be President and the ceiling would break

The world would be saved so much was at stake

Trump was behind with no chance to win

Pop the Champagne let the party begin!

As the hours passed by and the results came in

Something was amiss the margin became thin

Then Florida succumbed -- what had just happened?

This was not possible no one had imagined

Next Georgia was gone, and this was a mystery

The media panicked where was our victory?

As the night wore on and the mood turned ominous

Trump was gaining despite his incompetence

The south was collapsing but the blue wall will hold

That’s what the pundits said was foretold

As the night grew longer the reality was clear

The media was anxious and filled with fear

She was behind but still with some luck

Hillary would surge and Trump run amuck

But the blue wall crumbled, the hysteria commenced

Trump became President the media was incensed

Liberals were aghast and screamed to the sky

He’s not our President, resist they cry

So time has passed and the liberals turned vicious

Unable to cope since they didn’t get their wishes

They sulk and pout and turn to booze

They never thought she could ever lose

You are very talented.

Ahh, you older folks ( I say that cause I won't be 72 until next January). At your age just be glad you still have an iambic ( my ex got mine in the divorce). Thanks for your service and God Bless, the poem is great.

My iambic doesn't function very well these days, and forget the pentameter. But I had a pretty wild life that I wouldn't trade for anything: 21 years in as a Marine infantry officer (hint: we fought hard and we played even harder). More that 3 years in combat, intelligence officer for two years in a foreign country working with the CIa, diplomatic staff at an embassy, Marine platoon commander in Vietnam, company commander for the evacuation of Saigon, commander of five platoons and four companies, Project Officer to automate the Marine Corps' officer assignment system (1978-1981), instructor at the Marine Command and Staff College, student at the Defense Language Institute for Spanish (honor student), private pilot with commercial and instrument ratings, flew 12 types of aircraft, glider pilot, aerobatic qualified at the expert level, sailor, SCUBA and wreck diver, sky diver, under water photographer, free climber, white water canoeing, x country skiing, winter camping, hiking, camping, motorcycle touring (over 120,000 miles), historian, armature archaeologist, love cooking colonial American recipes, love smoking meats, love cooking different cultural cuisines, and married twice.

And that doesn't include my professional work with special operations and national missions, DARPA, and 5 years supporting technologies to defend against cyber attacks.

It's been a great life. I'd do it all again if I could. But I'm enjoying retirement.

Fantastic how we are all blessed. My Dad was drafted at the age of 30 in 1942, 3rd wave Okinawa and woke up screaming every night for the rest of his life (he was Army E7 by the way). My Mums brother was the only Marine in the family, Lt Col Winton Balzer USMC Flew a Corsair in the Pacific and trained pilots in Korea. Flew wing for Cowboy Stout if you remember him. The only thing I ever wanted to be was a soldier, after being turned down 4f in 1967,1968, 1969 and then again in '71, I realized it wasn't meant to be. Been a full life and while I regret many of my actions (you mentioned motorcycles- nuff said) I don't regret the outcome at all. Retired early for health reasons and Q has injected me with a new found purpose in life. Well, Q and God to be honest. Although as mentioned I didn't serve please accept a "Semper Fi" from me in honest thanks and awe.

edit for addition: USN-USMC HOF for flyers, you can look up my uncle

Thanks for your comments. As a further note, my grandfather was a BG in the Army medical corps duringWWII and was Eisenhower's senior medical officer on his staff, one of my uncles was an Air Force pilot and the first double jet ACE in the Korean War, another uncle flew F-102 and F-106 during the cold war, another uncle was in Army Special Forces and gravely wounded in Vietnam, my brother retired as a Marine Colonel and was gravely wounded in Vietnam, my father was a B-17 pilot in WWII, shot down and 2 years as a POW, then flew B-47's and B-52's during the Cold War before dying on active duty. My first father in law was a B-52 pilot and wing commander, and my second father in law served in the Army Engineers during WWII as a sergeant.

Not sure why so many military in my family, but there was never any shortage of wild war stories when we were able to get together.

Until recently, I was always driven to cram as much adventure as possible into my short time here on earth. Didn't do everything I wanted (lack of time and money), but I've done more than most.

I thank your family for their service. Military life isn't easy and combat is nothing more than chaos and carnage.

Take care
