    A Soldier of War


    Affectionately known as a “bag-o’-shite”
    But hell can he fight!


    Beasted! Busted! He gets things done, always real, never pretend...
    Full of wit and prankster fun, sharpened steel his closest friend.
    He’s a “bag-o’-shite”
    But hell can he fight!


    Rarely he salutes a 2nd pip, no respect - nor call him sir...
    Ill-disciplined; no penchant for drill - a spell in gaol does not deter.
    He’s a “bag-o’-shite”
    But hell can he fight!


    One-two-three-four pints down town, five-six; face now a frown...
    Seven-eight; he’s brawling now - all the way back to barracks-gate.
    He’s a “bag-o’-shite”
    But hell can he fight!

    He charges the line, trench after bloodied trench...
    On through the shit, guts, vomit, horror - fouled stench.
    He’s a “bag-o’-shite”
    But hell can he fight!


    He’s a soldier of war, with no time for peace...
    Rues the day of the cannon’s cease.
    He’s a “bag-o’-shite”
    But hell can he fight!


    He’s our brother-in-arms, friend and mucker, leader of men...
    Earning the battle honours, again and again.
    He’s a “bag-o’-shite”
    But hell can he fight!

    He’s a soldier of war, not peace......

            Nice one Kit.
            I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.
