A is for Army

These pics show my Army-man dad
Don’t you think he looks pretty rad?
He served with great pride
Both abroad and stateside
[how would you finish my limerick?]


A few years ago I did the A-to-Z Challenge using collages I had made alongside unfinished limericks. I especially enjoyed the unfinished limerick part. It was very audience-participation-ish.

This year I thought I would try using old photographs and unfinished limericks. Can you finish this limerick?


My dad really was in the army. The army paid for his medical school, and he paid them back with time. I was born on an US Army base. My father then went overseas to Ethiopia to a base there — with the whole family. My earliest memories are from that time.
