The coffee at the canteen’s no damn good, you know
I think the supplier slipped the kitchen super
a bag of cement mixed with topsoil—
you’d think they’d have figured it out
when the shelf collapsed under the weight of the sack
But no, they kept it hush-hush
so Lieutenant Moonbeam won’t end up
scraping barnacles from a ship in drydock
They must figure the guys on guard duty
won’t care what they’re drinking
when it gets so cold the fog turns to ice
I hear Corporal Feynman used that slop
to cement a fir stump to the Lieutenant’s Lexus the other day…

pure fun!!!
Thanks! “Canteen” got me on the military theme. (I never served, though, so I’m sure something will be a little off.)
