Listen to poem:
It Was In the Army
It was in the Army
by Bob Moore (c) 2016
It was in the army, where I learned what to do
I can sew a button on, and iron trousers too
I can cook my bacon, and scramble a few eggs
and I can hang the washing out, and not use too many pegs
My wife thinks that its luvly, the things that they taught me
I can wash the windows, and she can put me on KP
I keep my clothes all folded, in a minimum of space
and if she has to go away, I can clean the place
I can scrub the yard with a toothbrush, if you really want me to
that’s just a few of many things they taught me how to do
I loved it in the army, it really was a lot of fun
but the thing I liked the most was when, they taught me to shoot a gun.
