Poem
Vnimaniye! Attention! Ten campaign soldiers marching in a straight line One took a sound byte mine misstep, then there were only nine Nine loyal watchmen guarding the golden Tower gate One fell asleep and plummeted to the ground, dereliction of duty gave an even eight Eight secret cell spies, set to activate in hour eleven One wasn’t synchronized, the troops were now down to seven Seven full metal jackets surrogates, poison trap the debate trail mix One got caught red-handed, the number then got reduced to six Six pawns on the war chessboard, all vowed not to be taken alive One actually did follow thru, whittled soldiers were filed down to five Five half-company soldiers, going behind enemy lines once more Pvt. Lax had his cover blown, the soldier census was counting four Four battle tested grunts, web cam eyes mounted on a cyber tree Clipped by a media sniper bullet, tragic triage outcome made it three Three dog tag fight hounds, suicide mission ready ... go ... do Bomb vest malfunction, skeleton crew became only two Two wounded boots on the ground, ready to go out with a blazing run After the hot shot emptied his last clip, the company was left with just one One lone committed tin soldier, holding the fort with a single gun He don’t expect to last too long, and when he’s gone, there will be none Fort Prop G Company fought to the last man who could stand Send another company in, came word from the chain of command
