Wild and Crazy Rhyming Poems
MASH was a show of the best stars
Soldiers came in battered and marred
Anything could be wrong even bodies charred
The wounded came in by chopper or car
To the 4077 surgeons over 90% was par
Hawkeye is always there because he is the star
I can't think of a character named Lamar
My favorite character is played by Jamie Farr
The characters like the O. Club becuse it is a bar
Henry caught many fish, even garr
Their coffee was just like tar
Spalding sometimes played the guitar
Some can't see the movie 'cuz it's rated R
MASH is the best show ever by far
As it was, will be, or are
Even if you throw it in any jar

BJ made Charles think he was fat
Henry always wore the same hat
A soldier came in holding a cat
The cat probably ate gnats
It also might have had rats
They were near 38 degrees lat.
Potter would always give a pat
When they drank they stood or sat
Morale and happiness didn't fill a vat
The craziness was funny, there was that
Klinger liked the Mudhens at bat
I can't think of a character named Matt
-Kling
Just after all of the heads were downward laid
So that sleep would soon be made
Wounded came in, needing aid
To stay awake, surgeons drank lemonaide
As they begged for payment in jade
The light began to fade
As the grim reaper bade
-Kling
The sun at M*A*S*H rarely ever shined
About conditions people always whined
Millions of letters were written and signed
The people wined and dined, more often wined
M*A*S*H isn't a show, it's a state of mind
Over $3000 Hawkeye was fined
People thought Margaret had a nice behind
Frank was usually unkind
Hawkeye was always in a bind
Sometimes shrapnel was hard to find
The food was bad the M*A*S*Hers dined
People ate any fruit, even the rind
For Henry, everything was outlined
Most surgeons tried to be kind
For home, people usually pined
-Kling
To go home all people hoped
When asked if they liked it, they said nope
M*A*S*Hers had to try to cope
To R&R they ran with a lope
Father Mulcahy dreamed he was pope
People at M*A*S*H moped and moped
Frank was always the biggest dope
Morale in Korea had a downward slope
-Kling
Nonexistant cheerleaders said rah rah
As Radar wrote to his ma
Who was away so fa
Where mothers sang ta
And also said ta
And sheep on farms said baa
And little children said ha
And heads of farms were pas
And also maybe das
In good ole Ottumwa
-Kling
The wounded did moan
As they were sewn
So death didn't own
The parts on loan
Like skin and bone
In hope no spirit would be lone
So no family would hear the sad tone
Of the person on the phone
Saying the fact that was known
Of the lifeless zone
Of their boy's empty cone
-Kling
There was always time to jot a note
To home everyone wrote
Navy men were on a boat
During winter use a heavy coat
When enemies came, Frank dug a moat
Duffel bags were used as totes
On Margaret Frank dotes
Money was a great taste for goats
For peace there was a unanimous vote
The least dangerous thing was a coyote Sophie ate all the oats
-Kling
When shells come people wail
Many people were pale
Lots of people drank ale
Weather was as bad as hail
And the wind blew as a gale
Happiness was made by mail
Most people at M*A*S*H were males
I can't think of a person named Dale
Or one named Gail
Klinger's stunts always failed
A sample was once taken in a pail
Robbers were put in jail
Latrenes were built nail by nail
People would eat quail
Supply sergeant was Zale
Charles didn't like Yale
Margaret wore a veil
M*A*S*H people never saw whales
There was sometimes help from Wales
Mulcahy tried to make sales
For orphans that liked to hear tales
-Kling
To Koreans all soldiers were Joes
To the bar money was owed
Drinks at Rosie’s were so-so
There was hardly grass to mow
Henry never knows
Morale was always low
Klinger wore bows
The Yearling was about a doe
Frank was often a foe
On R&R people go
Mulcahy’s garden was hoed
To freedom, Klinger rowed
Radar spelled wrong sow
He spelled it sew
Mulcahy’s sis bit his toe
Hawkeye said yo
-Kling
As the amount of points needed were met
People went home by plane or jet
In poker there were many bets
Radar had many pets
The camp awakened to a trumpet
The Potters got a new TV set
To the O Club, there were debts
Hold on, I’m not done yet
$200 BJ needed to get
Everyone at M*A*S*H was a vet
The bed, Tuttle did wet
-Kling
