If Mr. Rogers Collected German Anti-Tank Guns

If Mr. Rogers Collected German Anti-Tank Guns


It’s a beautiful day at the live fire range,
A beautiful day for semiautomatic interruptions
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?…

It’s a neighborly day, like the Belleau Wood,
A neighborly day for Big Berthas.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?…

I’ve always wanted to shoot weapons just like you.
I’ve always wanted to live near a gravel berm with you.

So, let’s make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we’re together we might as well say:
Would you fire mine?
Could I fire yours?
Won’t you be my Forward Observer?

Won’t you please,
Won’t you please?
Please won’t you turn off the car alarm I just set off with this awesome PAK-40?

[Many thanks to Charles Schneider for sending that one along. He’s special]

One thought on “If Mr. Rogers Collected German Anti-Tank Guns

  1. It was especially hard to find and train guys to manhandle these things around the battlefield and engage them in direct fire scenarios, and yet they had to drag their number 10 (omitted content) around with them at the same time. Obviously, a gun carriage became the de-rigueur thing to have, as Gen. Patton would insist on time and time again. Besides, where do you put the cooler on one of these things?
