Champ

The world aflame a war is on

A bugle calls that all respond

From every corner of the States

Men volunteered some knew the stakes

From Clifton too a Jersey town

A soldier Walter did not frown

Said good bye to all--sweet heart too

Clair his high school love sadly blue

My photo is yours to wear she said

I will wait for you then we will wed

And across the battlegrounds he trooped

Until the war was finally scooped

The war now spent and home he went

Her photo over heart he lent

Soon they wed their family bred

Post war challenges to be tread

A textile giant he soon became

Horseshoe champion was his game

Enough to match a president

A right wing pitch for this event

Pleased was he with wife to adore

Her photo on heart as before

A scene serene as all can see

His high school love his Reveille
