Kilroy Was Here! Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

Kilroy Was Here!



That's the way it was my old man said
everywhere we went in those days
I saw that big-nose hanging over
a fence and scrawled nearby
the epithet (he said epitaph)
KILROY WAS HERE

It was really both I think now
like an Egyptian hieroglyph
on a latrine door in pharoah's
palace - the sign of the common
man, the grunt, the working stiff
who built those pyramids
KILROY WAS EVERYWHERE!
