Typed manuscript on one page. 5 stanzas. Can tell it's world war two because mentions "4-f boys at home" which were men that didn't pass their physical during world war 2 and weren't allowed to go to war. Poem is sarcastic, about a guy who tells his girlfriend at home she can be promiscuous with other men while he is away at war, and then retracts this at the end, saying "but if these things you do, Dear i'll break your gosh darn kneck." At the bottom is written "From my favorite "she" cousin" - name is gladys Wilk - you'll be seeing a lot of her so remember her name"
