Octobirthday

It was 80 years ago today
that I showed up in this world, hooray!
But I didn’t know what to do
no I didn’t even have a clue

So I yelled and screeched and threw a fit
that’s all I did, that’s it
The storm raged, and so did I
and so I will, until I die

Freia's day, the legend states
I don’t remember, not that old
auspicious though, or so I'm told
Explains my Viking ways

While across the Date Line
across the World
PT-109 that day
met a Japanese Destroyer

While I began 
this crazy life
the 109, that famous boat -
came to an end
