More great gun comediesA war zone called Chicago
Chapter 49
There will be another great comedy called ‘I Love Enemy Fighters at Twelve O’clock,’
2jWhich will be completely different from ‘I Love Combat!’,
3kBecause it will be all about the Eighth Air Force trying to bomb Germany into submission during World War II,
4For years and years.
5And the focus of the show will be on the B-17 crews who made all the difference in the war,
6lIncluding the waist guns,
7aAnd the nose gun,
8bAnd the turret gun,
9cAnd the tail gun,
10dNot to mention the Norden bombsight,
11eWhich will always come through in the end,
12fAnd drop all the bombs right on target,
13gWhile the rest of the crew is bringing down ME-109s left and right,
14So that the extremely good-looking human beings on the plane can get home safely,
15hWhich they will mostly do,
16Although the German anti-aircraft guns and the fifty-caliber machine guns on the German fighter planes will put up a heroic resistance,
17iAnd they will refuse to surrender,
18So that the B-17 crews will have to keep firing and bombing,
19For years and years,
20Which must be where the comedy comes in.
