Private Del

troop!
the lieutenant screamed
inches from the face of Del
how do you expect
to make spec four
with a damn rolls royce
radiator cap in your locker

looking straight into the looey's face
returned I wouldn't give up
that radiator cap 
to make spec four
anytime, anywhere, anyplace
and smiled broadly,
Sir!!

(Yes, he did steal it one drunken night)
