LIFE - OUT OF THE LINE! (ADDISHANS) (WW1)
Out of the lineA time to think
Of being a live
Hot baths!
Catching up with letters back home
With reassuring words: '' hear it's cushy ''
'' So no need to worry about me ''
'' I'll be home on leave soon . ''
Playing games of football - cricket - rugby!
Watching shows put on by mates
Blokes wearing dresses - stuffed to look like breast's!
Blokes hair not hidden!
Woman's breast's, not blokes chests!
Sweat songs - and yes songs of lust!
Yes, songs of sweat love, an nal!
A camp band plaid music of the music hall - popular back home in Blighy
Some on company orders - misdemeanors committed while in the line
Riffles - equipment - cleaned - boring routine!
Ques at the bordellos - later ques at the medics! For short arms inspection!
A VERY long needle involved! Inserted through the eye of The Beast!
Oh so very very painful! Lads put on charges - self inflicted injures!
Boos - jeers and cheers - jokes - good humor - wolfish whistles!
The War for now forgot! Ar least for - For The Now!
