An excellent photo that complements your poem perfectly. Nice alliteration in the name of the woman. I suppose it is fictional, or not. It rhymes all the way and tells an intriguing story.

You have a distinct way, Bill of composing a poem that makes the reader smile, chuckle, giggle or chortle ... until he casts his mind back to the lines and sees there's more than humor there. There is usually a pathos that borders on the tragic.

This is one of those.

Ha-ha...talk about going to pieces over a situation, old Wendy Wong took it a bit to the extreme, wouldn't you agree, heh-heh? If she'd been servicing Marines it probably never would have happened. We had Seabees checking for landmines for us, LOL.

Oh well...live, and learn.

This has a terrible ending for poor Wendy. Nice humorous approach though to a sensitive subject. Good alliteration in the name.

I wasn't sure if you are being serious or is this in jest? I don't know much about the Vietnam war, so I am not sure of the message-I don't mean to be disrespectful. Good use of rhyme, did you mean fractious in the last line? Faye

    Thank you, Faye, for reviewing. Just an playful use of the word to meet the rhyme scheme.
