Dear guestInspector,

Kindly allow me my opinion. I am offended because this song is meant to be humorous and I find nothing humorous about stuttering. When you say, "I would give the sight of both my aged eyes to hear their voices stuttering and stammering away today" what you really mean is that you would love to see them again, not that you love their stuttering. A "gentle and sweet little song" it is not although I do not dispute your right to interpret it that way. Your memories are your own. Do not insist that I share them. All of my relatives on my mother's side where killed in World War II. They were not soldiers but civilians who were murdered. Please spare me your maudlin memories of a horrific part of history.
