Soldiers Never Tire of Yes Sir

Soldiers never tire of “Yes Sir”!
Forgetful lips a long storm stir, 
Disciplinary frog jumps for an hour
Or a free fall from a waiting tower.

Soldiers love Ear-Dividing “Yes Sir!”
You lower yours you’ve robbed them their fur; 
No defaulter who won’t seem damned sour, 
The Newest Bride might just lose her flower.
 
Solider could never stop feeding on force 
At short notice quite ready for a course 
They should want to ascertain its source 
With a clearly disinterested horse!

Soldiers keep to the mischief of slouching 
Towards a quarry by some fireside crouching.
 So, why should one ever be heard vouching 
For a shaky honor in innocent words couching?
