Greener On The Other Side

I dunno whether you guys have done this before, and I seem to remember putting a shorter version of the following poem in another thread a long time ago, but heck guys.... ok if we share poems and songs about anything and everything related to the Army? Of course, nothing classified.... just your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

Greener On The Other Side
We jump from planes and into the air
We rise from the swamps and hit whatever's there
We smile and stand tall as we proudly say
We are the Commandos of the red beret
We slide down ropes from hovering choppers
We slice 'em and dice 'em from Light Strike rovers
We mock them Commandos as we proudly say
We are the Guardsmen of the khaki beret
We walk long distances in heavy battle gear
We just do things even when orders aren't clear
We show the finger as we deridingly say
We are the Infantry of the green beret
We rush down the flanks in a surge of thrill
We blast our enemies from behind walls of steel
We mock those Infantry walking in the heat of day
We are the Armour of the black beret
We blast shells into the air and into the ground
We annhilate whoever has the misfortune of being around
At the very sight of our guns they all run away
We are the Artillery of the blue beret
We carry pink cards and they call us 'Mister'
We have heads full of hair; there's no need for the barber
We pity those NSFs who don't have the right to say
We are the civillians with no beret. -

A long time ago, in a god-forsaken camp far, far away...Originally posted by fudgester:Come... share your Army poems leh....
Unnamed Track, Sarimbun , at Noon
Somehow
i drew sentry duty
what &$**ty luck
the old tattered red flag
hung limp
in the hot noon
who will notice this warning
in this free-fire zone?
i yawned
while the blazing sun
burns mud, churned up by creaking V2s
baked soil to fossilized
furrows
i lay belligerently in the tall grass
swatting mosquitos
chain smoking
dreaming
of my village girls
their smiles, their thighs, their etc
as 20mm Oerliekon shells
shattered wooden targets
Somewhere
