Lawrence Hall
A Japanese Army
Cap
Long, long ago in a land far away
I met some children playing on a river bank
One little boy wore a Japanese Army cap
Faded and old – I wondered who wore it first?
I tried to buy it from him - an MPC dollar?
No.
Five dollars?
No.
Ten dollars?
Laughter and another no.
Twenty good American MPC dollars?
No.
We continued our patrol up to Cambodia
And back again
I did not leave my bones in Viet-Nam
Nor even my cap
(I was a fool all
the same)
