Service Diary

[RabidAlien]

My wife's grandfather, an old Navy man (SBD mechanic), recently gave us a bunch of his old WW2 military stuff. In it was something I'd never seen before, a "Service Diary" (heard of em, never seen one). It had a couple of pictures, mostly from training bases, and not much else...sorta like a calendar purchased by myself, that seemed like a good idea at the time but was quickly forgotten about. Still, its something of his, and as such sits on the little shelf in "my" room where a couple of other signed photos and some of my Navy stuff sit. In it, though, was one thing written on a random page. I thought y'all might get a kick out of it (not sure if he wrote it, or just copied it from somewhere):


GRACIE

Her name was Gracie, one of the Best.
That night I put her to the test,
she looked so sweet, so pretty, so slim;
the night was dark, the lights were dim,
I was so excited my heart missed a beat
for I knew I was in for a damn good treat.
I'd seen her stripped, I'd seen her bare
I'd felt her over everywhere.
When I first tried her, she screamed for joy.
That was the first night, boy! OH BOY!
I got up quickly, as quick as I could,
I handled her gently, I knew she was good.
I rolled her over, then on her side
Then on her back I also tried.
She was one big thrill, the best in the land,
that P-38 of the Fighter Command.

Agreed nice to hear the voices of the past
