The Stupidest
Metaphor
Do these camouflage knee-pantsies make my 250-pound
ass look too big?
He never formed up with a skirmish line
To poop and snoop to some distant trees
Across a death-hot field of weeds and mud
With some idiot yelling, “Dress it up!”
He never feared that a 40-mike-mike
Would blow his guts and spine into bloody rags
Which would get his air-conditioned C/O
In Saigon another medal and promotion
His PTSD is from watching TV
But he is pleased to claim that he is a warrior
