Frightened airman from the Texas sky, <br />Fearful man who would jump to lie! <br />Man who meant not what he would say! <br />This craven man deserved the despised yellowest beret! <br />Privileged status then to protect his rear. <br />This man hid for a year! <br />Thousands of men then sacrificed each day, <br />But this one so deserved the yellowest beret! <br />Trained to live off others' work, <br />Trained in politics with that smirk! <br />Man who hid both night and day! <br />Craven deep is this yellowest beret! <br />Back at home veterans awaited an unknown fate, <br />While this yellowest beret showed up a year late!<br /><br />Hubert Wilson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ballad-of-the-yellowest-beret/
