Premium Member Cletus O'Toole's Dismal Army Career

Cletus O'Toole was a hopeless recruit

   Cletus cared for the army not one hoot

      He was the sergeants bane

         And deemed their rules inane

            He was asked to leave and given the boot

Sergeants
They rants!

Slit trench
Big stench!

Don't sass
The brass!

Long march
Sore arch!

Payday
Yea! Yea!

Discharge
Bye, Sarge!

Move!/
Wait!/
Hurry!/
Yes, Sergeant!/
Make your buddy smile!/
Straighten ranks; fix your intervals!/
You have twenty seconds and ten are already gone!/
You are no longer new recruits, you are now soldiers; congratulations!/

There is strength there is power. “Mommy, look at this lovely flower!”
There is war and there is strife. “C’mon lets go fly a kite!”
There is guns and there is knives. “Look at my kite rise and rise!” There are warlords there are tyrants. “Hey Jo, can you hold the call on those Clients?” There are Officers and there are sergeants. “This silver is of the finest argent!” There is my skin, burnt ashy and gray. “But daddy, Are you coming home to stay?”
