Peacetime Infantry

Ludicrous Limerick submission

By Ezra BerkmanPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read
A Poem for Peacetime Grunts, and their Doctors.

Enlist! Enlist! Riflemen and Corpsmen for hire

We might send you to a war zone but you'll never leave the wire

You'll shoot and train but it's all pretend

LARPing until your heart's content

Green Ivan ahead! Lay down suppressive fire!
