Perry Campanella 1948 (FL)
He looked me down,
In my home, we trembled
Instinctively can see what's up
never, risking to a sweat,
Fearful for my wife,
family, never show, to be intimidated,
for any tear, may lose, give up my life
I clearly liked this invader not,
So he shivered like a feral cat
our memories in hand, now his loot,
spotted burglar, swiftly ran like a rat
only armed with my work boot,
Hero nay
to save what would have happen,
should a knife or pistol present
I say, better to live another day
Dad's invasion story,
vacation, our children absent,
my short account of events
shall scar, will all remember?
