Interests
Army Life
I'm tired of Army barracks and I'm sick of Army ways,
I'm tired of GI buses and of shining silver trays
I want to be a "civvie" and to visit all the joints,
But woe unto my hopes and dreams -- I've only 30 points!
I'm weary from inspections and from shining buckles of brass,
I'm tired of saying Sir--Yes, Sir! -- to guys I ought to sass --
I'd like to wear a drape suit and drive a roadster sporty,
Id like -- Oh, so many things! But, gosh, I'm not yet 40!
I'm broken down from PT and I'm sore from daily shaving,
My hunger for a juicy steak is like a madman's craving,
I'm sick of snoring soldiers and I yearn for home and wife,
I'm tired of getting letters that are all we have of life.
From this, you can plainly see, I'm full of woes and gripes
Yet until the need is over -- I'm proud to wear my stripes.
