Added a new signature. It is from one of my favorite military poems, Fiddler's Green.

Guess it did not work. BAH!!! :( (   Well. for those who do not know it Here it is.  


Fiddler's Green

Halfway down the trail to Hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
 
Marching Past straight through to Hell,
The Infantry are seen,
Accompanied by the Engineers
Artillery and Marine,
For none but shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddler's Green.
 
Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene,
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he's emptied his canteen,
And so rides back to drink again
With friends at Fiddler's Green.
 
And so when man and horse go down
Beneath a saber keen;
Or in a roaring charge or fierce melee
You stop a bullet clean;
And the hostiles come to take your scalp,
Just empty your canteen...
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddler's Green.

Uhmm. I am in no way a moderator, but please, please, please! Consider the size of your signature! I don't want to scroll pages to find the next post in a thread.
I think mine is borderline big, too! :|

I would have to agree. Nice poem, but way too big, maybe just the last few lines?

And I was thinking about using Henry V as my sig.

--
Mike

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

                         - Henry V, Act iv, Scene 3

He said his signature was FROM Fiddler's Green.  He didn't say it WAS Fiddler's Green.

Relax.

I did cut it down.  Sorry I posted the whole thing by accident at first.  Will see if the signature takes now.
