Greetings from Afghanistan
now a scrumpdillyicious war
Where our troops are doing all they can
in a scrumpdillyicious war
Yes, our men and women are brave and more
in this scrumpdillyicious war
but the folks back home seem to ignore
this scrumpdillyicious war
We went on patrol the other day
in this scrumpdillyicious war
To chase the Taliban away
in this scrumpdillyicious war
Our gear the best that money could buy
in this scrumpdillyicious war
No fear had we, that we might die
in this scrumpdillyicious war
We wandered in to a family's compound
in this scrumpdillyicious war
And barricaded ourselves down
in this scrumpdillyicious war
The Taliban came out to fight
in this scrumpdillyicious war
And fired on us all day and night
in this scrumpdillyicious war
Not being fools we called in air
in this scrumpdillyicious war
The jet flew by and launched a flare
in this scrumpdillyicious war
and the noise he made (we're sure) did scare
in this scrumpdillyicious war
The Taliban (who don't fight fair)
in this scrumpdillyicious war
But they kept on lobbing in their rounds
in this scrumpdillyicious war
That eventually burned the compound down
in this scrumpdillyicious war
But we fooled them - we had left that ground!
in this scrumpdillyicious war
For another compound in that town
in this scrumpdillyicious war
(Then back we went to our own camp
in this scrumpdillyicious war
To mend our ripped and shredded pants
in this scrumpdillyicious war)
Another day and out we went
in this scrumpdillyicious war
enthusiasm still unspent
in this scrumpdillyicious war
An empty town was an eerie find
in this scrumpdillyicious war
Of course, the whole damn thing was mined
in this scrumpdillyicious war
A soldier there was blown apart
in this scrumpdillyicious war
But none of the others ever lost heart
in this scrumpdillyicious war
We've plenty of troops - "we're" standing tough
in this scrumpdillyicious war
Though medevac? - We can't get enough
in this scrumpdillyicious war
So here I am, and here I'll stay
in this scrumpdillyicious war
And as long as they'll let me, I will say
"it's a scrumpdillyicious war"
And "we're making progress, yes we are"
in this scrumpdillyicious war
(Just don't forget to hit my tip jar)
in this scrumpdillyicious war

ReplyDeleteWe ARE winning! Thank you, Michael I was worried about that for a while.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michael. SOME of us ARE paying attention, and we KNEW we were winning now that general Petraeus is in charge!
ReplyDeleteWith General Petraeus back in charge we won't be defeated like the Russians and Canadians!
ReplyDeleteAmeriCAN, how can anyone "KNOW" something if Michael hasn't posted it yet?
ReplyDeleteUm, General Petraeus is in charge of the CIA.
ReplyDeleteHey, "Spooky" - how about you take your batshit crazy conspiracy theory crap right on outta here? This is a sight for people who are serious about national security.
ReplyDeleteWait, when did Canada invade Afghanistan?
ReplyDeleteBilly, you should read the links in Michael's post. The last one is where he explains how the Canadians were defeated after they invaded the place where he is fighting with the American troops now, like the Russians did.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you need to learn about how McChrystal messed up Afghanistan you can click my name - that will take you to my blog where I documented it. If you are seven now you were only five back then, so no one here expects you to know this stuff. Or maybe four and a half.
Oh Michael, I love your poetry the best!
ReplyDelete"he is fighting with the American troops now, like the Russians did"
ReplyDeleteMichael would NEVER fight with American troops like the Russians did.
Oh yes he would...
