Story 18


              Viciously Slapped































               In World War II, many American chaps were caught in boobie traps.


               Around their wrists and ankles irons were clapped, their faces were


               slapped, their backs strapped, and their wounds left unwrapped.



               For failure to rap or to reveal any plan or map, they were fed just baby

               pap, and maybe a leftover scrap.



               Some snapped! For trying to escape many were zapped. Others died


               because their energy was sapped, often taking a shivering nap, without


               even a blanket in which to wrap.
