A Fag a Fag and Dont Ask Don'T Tell

A FLAG AND A *** BUT DON’T ASK DON’T TELL

curls of twisted smoke 
The wisp of a whisper in a woman’s breath
Chest rising, falling and once gain rising
But none of this is a surprise come to rise
She was Phoenix risen from cigarette, cigar and weed ashes…….. 
You pondered, 
I wondered if, 
at the end the end was always the answer to how we should end
A woman who wove wonder with her will
And the sight of her flaxen and silken flesh
 
The wisp of a whisper in her sigh was alit in neon flashes
And I ain’t got no defense when she flickers her eye-lashes
Or dashes to my side to say 
“Hi honey, how was your day?
But she was a fraud
And a liar who could not be ignored
While both of us grew ever bored
How was my god-damned day you ask?
 I responded loudly and curtly that his day was akin to decalcifying human waste
my yesterday brought nothing new
Tomorrow too
Except that his brother Billy became a radical for the Jihad 

He left for Iraq because he wove his ragged flag heaven high
As brother fought brother in the name  of two divergent Gods
Actually he calculated the odds, 
Did a little adding and subtracting for to arise at the sum of phi
So why he secreted himself  into the smoke I now know why 
and the whispered wisp of her sigh which is no longer mine
She a thousand miles awy  and that’s why I chose to die
And there are tens of thousand soldiers willing to die because they don’t know why, but Hitler ordered them to do it
Once a Jap always a Jap is a load of f*****g crap
And what are we going to do with that new gay lieutenant?
Don’t ask, don’t tell and throw him a rope
But if you ever have to shower near him don’t drop the soap
And even the Chief Of Command must confess
We’re leaving behind one un-earthly mess
