Melvin's Interlude

[Skit]

He was in the Vietnam war (Oh)

He had shell shock, they call it

The effects of being in the war; what you see being in the military. The things that you go through: the drugs, the alcohol, killing, seeing your friends die and not being able to cope

But he would always come here to sit and talk to mom

He sat and came to Venemily

All the the time

All the time

Venemily fed him, Venemily would clothe him, give him hats from Pete

Uncle Junk, anybody, glove

Make him sit on the chair after she feed him and tell him to go to sleep, take a nap- a rest

And around that time we were comin' home from school, the bus

He loved Venemily

Mhm

He loved Venemily

I think because she was the opposite of his own mother

Mhm

That was a good time
