A Time Capsule for our Noblest Soldier
“In war I do not like to take sides”
-Sergeant Schultz
If there must be time capsules buried beneath
Statues of bold men wearing uniforms
As a remembrance of man’s noblest ideals
Let us have one for dear ol’ Sergeant Schultz
A recipe for Hans' apple strudel
A bottle of his favorite Pilsner beer
A Cuban cigar from Colonel Klink’s stash
And a menu from the Hofbrau House
But especially the strudel
If we must honor soldiers, as some assert
Then let us include their favorite dessert
A poem is itself.
