An Ode to the .30-06 Springfield
Ode to the .30-’06 Springfield
Way down in Cuba, upon San Juan Hill
Col. Roosevelt realized the Krag’s little pill
Just wouldn’t suffice
So he had to charge twice
And make up the difference with courage and skill.
The Army designed a new cartridge divine,
With velocities higher than those of their time,
At Springfield they saw,
A design without flaw
That would give generations a chance to opine.
Whether mated with telescope, or bayonet fixed,
American soldiers, they got in their licks,
And they fought ‘til the end,
So sit down my friend
And hear now, my Ode to the .30-‘06
