PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’VE READ YOUR PIECE,

OF THE LITTLE DISCOMFORTS,

AND YOUR RIGOROUS HELL.

THE LACK OF HOT WATER,

THE UNFORTUNATE SMELL.



THE RIGOURS OF LIFE,

THE LACK OF THE WIFE.

THE WIRELESS AND CABLE,

WHO AREN’T QUITE ABLE.

TO PROVIDE A DISCOUNT.



THE LEAKING COVERED WALK WAYS

TWEEN, BED, BEVY AND BONK.

LIT BY THE STREET- LIGHTS GLOW.

SCHUMULIES, AND 2 INCH MORTARS.

WERE MY NIGHT-LIGHTS

NOT SO LONG AGO.



AS HISTORY NOW STATES.

I MARCHED FOUGHT AND WON,

OVERCAME AND CONQUERED.

SAW THE FILM AND READ THE BOOK.

BUT NEVER WORE A TEE-SHIRT!



IS IT ANY WONDER, MY NEGLECTED TRENCHES,

SLOWLY FILLED WITH WATER.

AS THE NINETIES SOLDIER, FOUGHT FOR HIS PHONE CARD,

INCREASED LOA, BIGGER BEER RATION.

WHEN WE WADED THROUGH THE COLD ATLANTIC WATERS .



WE KNEW THEN, IF WE WANTED TO STAY IN THE GAME,

WE COULDN’T AFFORD TO LOSE OUR BALLS ON THE BEACH.
