Walked out of camp at night

Nine of them were children 
Their demise caused no uproar

When Mounted Police hit a snag

Stuck to his stirrup
Voilà Sergeant Preston in drag!

Getting Fired- the Classy Way

Hey when its over its over
Squad Sergeant combing his grove
Takes out the vice shredders

I'm not gonna leave in a scuffle
I'll shake your hand and grin
Wish you a nice afterlife


Guilty Conscience

Found out the law would put him under lock
He hung himself from the old tower clock
Was to be tried for flashing
Said the Sergeant in passing
His untimely death came as quite a shock

Premium Member Attention Vignette Form

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.

Premium Member Shot Forsooth

Alas, Abe Lincoln was fatally shot forsooth,

By that nefarious cad John Wilkes Booth!

Booth was shot by Sergeant Boston Corbett,

Sending him on his well-deserved eternal orbit!

Premium Member C Troop Is Soft

C troop is the sloppiest, the sergeant told me. stay away.
can’t I help them get better? I asked, my big mistake that day.
No, they are cupcakes, he told me, soft and not much good at war.
I ran over to take a peek. They were tasty, that’s for sure!

Surfin' Vietnam

If everybody had an ocean
it would be the bomb
everybody'd be surfin'
like in Vietnam
when we're on R&R
we surf China Beach
get away from the war
and the jungle heat
a little vacation
out of the way of harm
tell the Sergeant we're surfin'
Surfin' Vietnam

When I'M 64

When I’m Sixty-Four

In days of Sergeant Pepper,
When I was twelve years old,
The Beatles recorded a track,
That was Pepper solid gold.

A tune written tongue and cheek,
“When I’m Sixty-Four”
Never believing when I was twelve,
I could ever reach that score.

Premium Member Private Beetle Bailey

The infernal bane of Private Beetle Bailey,

   Is Sergeant Snorkel who pounds him daily!

      Beetle has mastered the fine art of goldbricking,

         And somehow manages to survive his daily licking!

Your Duty Done

Rest in Peace faithful one
Your duty is done
It’s time to return your gear 
The sergeant will mark you clear

Your mates will remember you
With the laughter and tears too
They will form your guard of honour
And will toast you as a true blue copper.

Premium Member A Peek Out the Foxhole

“I am going to peek out the foxhole!” The squirrel told his troop.
“Don’t call it that!” screeched Finicky Farlane, spilling his soup.
Seriously, it is called that for real, Finicky, said Sergeant McBeal.
They should rename it then, Farlane said, spilling the rest of his meal.

Premium Member Army Chef - Sergeant Schmo

Sergeant Schmo was chef in an Army mess.

   He excelled in concocting S.O.S.,

      But troops preferred M.R.E.s,

         They were very hard to please!

            Don't know what S.O.S. is?  Take a guess!

(P.S.:  Ask a veteran nearest you what S.O.S. is - the answer will astound you!)

Premium Member True Grit

He
like a drink
      did granpa
      Shreeve
Sergeant stripes
still on his
       sleeve-
Victorian born
        buckled belt
        boots,trousers
braced
strong
           silent,twirled
           of moustache
           rigid
upright
no ceremony-
            faded
            sepia grey
            in

Premium Member Trixie Has Imagination Under Control

My imagination plays
I lie around watching
Not caring though
Not terribly concerned

Not rushing anything
Letting my muse Trixie have her way
I do not involve myself
Until the rewrites anyway

She is yelling at imagination now
Using her drill sergeant voice
Making it give her one hundred percent
I turn over and go back to sleep

Premium Member A Private Named Moon

There once was a private named Moon.

He was taller than most in his platoon.

Some said he was a kind hearted goon.

His problem was a drill sergeant named Wreds.

Because Moon was taller than Wreds by two heads.

It’s very difficult to take a scolding seriously

When the sergeant’s head meets you mysteriously

In your neverlands

I'd buy Stars And Stripes on Thursdays
To plan Saturday's volksmarch trip.
Vineyards along the Mozel,
On bluffs above castles,
Thru medieval towns;
This Sergeant loved

Premium Member The Sergeant

The first sergeant saw that the new recruit Definitely was not very astute He told him to get the donkey d--- Cause the truck needed some oil slick The buck private went laughing on mute
My grandson told me that sometimes in the military the men won't understand or remember what they are told so this type of tactic is used to get their attention. LOL

Melvin

When it came to your acting career, you were no slacker.
You starred as Sam the butcher and as Sergeant Hacker.
You guest starred on the Andy Griffith Show at least ten times.
On that show you mostly played characters who turned to crime.
It was extremely sad when your life ended.
You were a great actor and you certainly deserve to be commended.

(Dedicated to Allan Melvin who died January 17, 2008.)
