when they notified him <br />that his only son had been <br />killed in Afghanistan... <br /> <br />he went out in the yard <br />and draped an American flag <br />across the windshield of <br />his '57 chevy... <br />and drenching it in gasoline, <br />he set it ablaze... <br /> <br />and he sat on the porch <br />with his Vietnam Vet hat <br />pulled down low over his eyes... <br />sipping good Kentucky bourbon... <br /> <br />when it had burnt down <br />and he could hear the sirens, <br />he took the 38 caliber smith and wesson <br />from his lap, and putting it to his temple, <br />pulled the trigger! <br /> <br />in the paper they called it <br />a double tragedy!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/double-tragedy-2/
