IRAQ A TOAST
By "OBSIDIAN!!!" [Excerpt from "This Eye of Mine" c.2007]
Sing!
One for the city
For the second time
Was sacked!
One for the Gunny
When we lefted him
In Iraq!
One for the Army Ranger
Shot him in the back!
One for the tyrant
When we hung him
From a rack!
One for the Private
Who is never
Coming back!
One for the oldest
River full-front-attack! *
*[The poem is sung thrice-times over. The first is shouted, the second is spoken, and the last is to be solemnly whispered, ending with:]
-Attack
-"Attack!"
