Melvin's Interlude

[00:03.82] He was in the Vietnam war (Oh)
[00:05.51] He had shell shock, they call it
[00:07.85] The effects of being in the war; what you see being in the military.
[00:11.64] The things that you go through: the drugs, the alcohol,
[00:15.38] Killing, seeing your friends die and not being able to cope
[00:21.05] But he would always come here to sit and talk to mom
[00:26.89] He sat and came to Venemily
[00:28.42] All the the time
[00:30.58] All the time
[00:31.63] Venemily fed him, Venemily would clothe him, give him hats from Pete
[00:38.38] Uncle Junk, anybody, glove
[00:40.25] Make him sit on the chair after she feed him
[00:42.83] And tell him to go to sleep, take a nap- a rest
[00:45.87] And around that time we were comin' home from school, the bus
[00:49.07] He loved Venemily
[00:51.55] Mhm
[00:52.66] He loved Venemily
[00:54.46] I think because she was the opposite of his own mother
[00:59.45] Mhm
[01:00.66] That was a good time
[01:03.32]
