"My specialty was 'transport,' lad;

I'd pile it here and pile it there."

"Had you a. brave co-pilot, too?"

He hears the bright boy ask.

"A chaplain, named Ed Nagel,

He helped me swing the task."

"It's grand you were a pilot, Grand Dad!"

The old man starts to whittle:

"Well, not so grand, perhaps, my lad

But the extra rice helped a little."
