Brick Wall Urinal

Brick Wall Urinal

A Poem by The Warrior Poet
"

3 soldiers came into the barracks drunk (obliterated) at 0400hrs and first call came at 0530hrs - they didn't make out too well. McGee relieved himself on the wall in front of everybody.

"

Brick Wall Urinal

 

 

Oh-530, “first call” came,

But not for this young paratrooper’s brain,

As he stumbled about, then whipped it out,

and painted the hallway wall with last night’s beer.

 

The coolness of the bricks caressed his face,

as the puddle he was forming covered his bare feet.

An “America’s Guard of Honor” poster seemed a bit out of place,

there on that wall,

But there wasn’t a bit of fear, in David McGee.

 

I wonder of this young paratrooper puppet,

with several severed strings,

“What sort of dream was he having deep inside

while his body dreamed of a latrine?”
