Sense Sonnet - Steamer

G.I. Joe

G.I. Joe born in '64,
Conceived by a soldier who did
Combat in the Korean War.
At last a doll for the guy kid.
A twelve inch action figure who
Had moveable parts to attack,
Downing "enemies" with kung fu,
Then still, as the kid got a snack.
The Vietnam war came along
And killed the G.I. Joe sales.
The right of soldiering turned wrong
When Government Issued war fails.

Happy 50th - G.I. Joe.
We keep playing war - doncha know!
