The Purpose Of A Blog
You know I'm glad I started this blog cos I already forgot some of the stuff that happened that I wrote a month ago. Talk about a short-term memory. Maybe if I do lots of crosswords or something I can regain/ increase my short-term memory capacity. Good plan sez.
Me & Pete just watched 'Marty'. It was a very goofy 50's movie. It was better than I thought it would be. Pete says a lot of his family were just like that. I can see it i tell ya.
I have a new tv show that I watch for 20 minutes while eating breakfast. Seeing as Bottletop Bill is a thing of the past. Everybody should give Jakers a try. OK?
Can you tell i'm having a thing about sticking links in at the moment? I'm on a roll....
Really I have something else to share. It's in my head cos it was on the tv and now it's gonna stay there for weeks so I might as well share it around. What's worse is that it gets in my head and I only know half the words. Well I've remedied that now, haven't I. .......
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country's battles
On the land as on the sea.
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marines.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job --
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
