And another Christenson for good measure

The Night of the Bayonet

The night was filled with dark and cold

When Sergeant Talbert, the story’s told

Pulled on his poncho and headed out

To check the lines dressed like a Kraut.

Upon a trooper, our hero came

Fast asleep, he called his name

Smith! Oh, Smith! Get up! It’s time

To take your place out on the line.

And Private Smith, so very weary

Cracked an eye all read and bleary

Then grabbed his gun, he did not tarry

Hearing Floyd but seeing Jerry.

Don't! cried Tab, It's me! and yet,

Smith charged, tout suite with bayonet.

He lunged, he thrust, both high and low
