Changed forever my family.

Did join the high school football team,
So older brother, Teddy, did
Not further smack his self esteem,

The G.I. Bill he did not do.

About how bad the carbon tiz.

Meant for the movies and T.V.

A voice from some telephone place.

Assuring them it's for the good.

The never ending soldierhood.

When John Marshall, early and long,
Earned the 'Great Chief Justice' tag line,
Molding the Court into stuff strong.
