A Marine Corps Poem
Rating:
Quality: (Quality: Unrated)
There is a story,
that I love to tell,
of thirteen weeks of misery,
thirteen weeks of hell,
I was living in the city,
working everyday,
Until one day a man in blue,
happend to cross my way,
I signed my name,
upon the dotted line,
Packed all my trash,
got on the plane,
Off to serve my time.
They sent me to an Island,
Where they made Marines,
They say a thousand boys may come,
But only men may leave,
They issued all my gear,
Combat boots and skivy shirts,
In a few short hours,
They had me in the dirt,
My Drill Instructor,
Trained me rough and hard,
He taught me how to fight,
He taught me how to march.
In three short months,
As long as it had seemed,
I finally had earned,
The Title of Marine,
How well I remember,
Graduation Day,
As I left I swore,
I wouldn't be back this way,
I went to my Drill Instructors,
And gave them my hand,
They made this boy a Man.
I served my time proudly,
Out in the FMF,
But back at Parris Island,
There was something I felt I left,
So I'm back a second time,
A smokey in my hand,
Training U.S. Marine Recruits,
The vary best I can,
I found out what I lost,
In the very end,
The making of Marines,
Down Where It All Began.
