Military Madness
Reflecting on our senior brass
Oh Dear, Oh My, Oh Me,
If you’ve a taste for bullying
It’s just the place to be –
Abusing power left and right
With a touch of sodomy.
We’ll serve the Queen !
Salute the flag
There’s nought we do that’s sinister.
So take your girlie fishnet tights
And f*ck the Defence Minister.
We’ll take him down
We’ll dack this clown
For speaking out of turn
We’ll snooker him and pot the brown
Until his eyeballs burn.
We’re sworn to do as her Majesty asks
To defend this fine country
And with the exception of the junior ranks
To keep ourselves fancy free.
To do this best as well, we must
Live by laws of our wide brown land
And explain our tactics to the troops
With stern words and back of hand.
But in truth there’s just one law for us
On land, in the air, on sea;
We’ll do whatever we f*ckin’ like
It’s the rule of 303.
Window Dresser's Arms, Pig & Whistle 
Too clever for me Emmjay. Sometimes rhyming.
But the military have their own rules, laws and punishments – which of course – include exonerating wankers.
They sometimes get their comeuppance: A Few Good Men.

Stephen less than Smitten has been speaking out frankly right or wrong without a minute’s hesitation appearances are. That is certainly not DONE as far as pointy (pointed) ends of the sticks are concerned.
I only understand it in the context bullying is rife in our society. I experienced abuse at Teachers Training College that was being mocked at, called names by hoi polloi. It hapened at University too. It is as if with all the privileges of a country with a water supply and food in our bellies, no war immediately present, we have to be turning our ire onto those who are vulnerable…and/or their pants off. Good pome, Emm.

That bit after and/or … is there something missing? “Have” maybe? “Pulling”? I have a nagging dissatisfaction with these solutions though.

Hi Shoe. I once wrote two pieces on bullying – over at the ABC’s then “Unleashed”
http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/32184.html and http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/29222.html
Bullying – more a national sport than cricket or Aussie rules – in fact bullying might well BE Aussie rules.

Voice, yes I meant to say, in effect ‘pulling’.
In reference to solutions, Voice,I didn’t mean to suggest that committing those abuses is a solution. I have written that comment badly I was glad to read you comment and recognise that..

Well written Emm.
One wonders how Adolf Turd spells misogyny. Clearly doesn’t know when to stop playing politics.
