Author Notes: My pathetic attempt at poetry, Normally I am good at it, but at the moment I am tired, bored and have an extreme headache. Anyway...enjoy...Oh yeah, I don't own anything in this. Plus most of the infomation is based of spoilers and such.

*****************

There was a man that came to this place
He was one of a kind and a talented doctor
He was there from beginning to end
Watching as friends come and go
And the war nearly drew him to insanity

There was a man that came to this place
Who left behind a wife and two daughters
He passed his time by seducing nurses and drinking
Often thought as a side-kick and left in the shadows
He left without a goodbye, just a kiss on the cheek

There was a man that came to this place
A father of two and a third one on the way
He couldn't wait to see his family again
And to see a son he never got to see
"There were no survivors"

There was a man that came to this place
He was only married for the money
He was only a doctor for the money
No one liked him very much
And the one he loved left him in shackles

There was a man that came to this place
He had a beautiful wife and daughter
Who he never saw take her first steps
Or hear her very first words
He never got to see her first birthday

There was a man that came to this place
He had served in two wars before
And he knew all too well that war is hell
He was away from his wife for their anniversary
And painted pictures of people and objects to forget

There was a man that came to this place
He was of an upper class family
His skills of high level were wasted for meatball
His loved of music helped him get through
But the war even took that away

There was a man that came to this place
He never wanted to be here just like everyone
He even wore dresses and dressed up as Mosses to get out
Section eight was the way to leave all of the blood behind
Yet, he ended up staying to help his wife find her parents

There was a man that came to this place
He was very dedicate to the Faith
There were only a few times he doubted
He would listen to your problems and helped
The war ended up taking his hearing

There was a woman that came to this place
She had grown up in the army and army was her life
As Head Nurse she was into regulations
But as things went on she slowly became softer and more caring
The war made her doubt everything she believed

There was a boy that came to this place
Here he gained a father and lost him all the same
He knew things before they even happen
And this boy left as a man
"Oh no…CHOPPERS!"

There were many who came to this place
Some who lead and some who fought
Some who died and some who lived
Home called it a 'Police Action'
They called it war

And to those who never experienced it first hand
It was slowly faded into a distant memory
Almost completely forgotten
'Til a series called M*A*S*H
That was based off a book and a movie and a true real war
For eleven years it ran

Wayne Rogers as Trapper McIntyre

Harry Morgan as Sherman Potter
