Sos Sunday Morning Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

Sos Sunday Morning



Mess cooks rise with the sun
to prepare breakfast for the troops

Company B preferred above all
SOS on Sunday mornings

Okinawa in the winter
was mild for southern Japan

Chopped beef on toast
warmed us for the day

Wise guys and old hands
called it Shit on a shingle

We relished it no matter
the name - SOS!
