7969. THE DRUM IS BEATING SLAUGHTER

THE DRUM IS BEATING SLAUGHTER
We can order what you'd like. Take your time to eat.
Many men have died so you can have this food. As
they say in the Army  -  take all you like, but eat all
you take. Delightful ragamuffins, those guys.
-
I've been here twice before. Once, with the Amphicar
that wouldn't ever stop, and another time with three 
guys from the rowing team. Pleasant enough, but I
thought dumb as hams.  This was good then too.
-
I seem to understand a vacancy in the heart : the way
willows weep, like those over there, as they bend and 
sag over  -  and so close to  -  the water. Makes my poor
heart skip a beat, to coin a phrase, makes it skip a beat.
