Recruit Training - I Wasn’t Rich, But I Jingled When I Marched
Dog tags for dogs and, for a time, for me
Old Uncle Sugar said my religion was CATH
(Had I remained a Methodist, a PROT)
My blood type was O POS (still is, I guess)
The Navy thought all that such a good idea
They made me wear a second tag just like it
On a second little chain attached to the first
All dangling down my skinny Gilligan chest
Beaded chains, tags, a Saint Christopher’s Medal -
I wasn’t rich, but I jingled when I marched
