THE BROTHALS IN ARMENTIRS 1914 - 1918 (some changes)

The ques formed - now orderly - the M P's made it clear
'' Stay in order! '' , '' we're GONER , declare it out of bounds!''
The men know better than to disobey the trench dogears!
So they queued - grumbling - as all soldiers tend to do!
Speculating on what lay in wait in side for them
Asking those who came out side - '' what's it like chum? any good pal?''
'' Any blondes - red heads mate?'' ask others
Among the que - young men - back then more boys - aged under twenty
Just did wona die cock virgins!
Also there were those hoping to get a dose of the clap - so getting out of
Killing field out - out of the war a live - and in one piece - preferring - risking cock rot!
Than the almost certainty of - their - body's rotting on the battlefield!
Picking up a Blighty* - off a whore at the brothel in Armentirs - would be one way

The buzz of expectant - unwar like men - in the air - in Armentirs -
France 1914 - 1918

*Blighty a word for Britain - A Blighty wound - being sent home.

Mademoiselles from armentières were popular I suppose. If you get a purple heart for being shot in action, what do you get for getting a dose of the clap in action? What a way to get a discharge. Sorry i could not resist that :)

Lol ...love it. It beats having to shoot your toe off as some American boys trying to get out of going to war.
