OKAY….”GENERAL”!!!
General, or Major, or Captain…
Depending on what is happening,
We in uniform
Are labeled as norm,
By many who watch us in action.
–
Although most of us are just guards
Posted to watch the stars…
Some folks think it kind
To daily remind,
Us that we are thought kindly toward.
–
When I carry the mail bucket out,
The mailperson often will shout…
My conscience directs
Other than he expects,
Not leaving it on the floor to take out.
–
A guard who often is kind
And obedient to gently remind…
Workers to take care
Is oft rewarded right there
With increased “rank” from those inclined.
–
As I told the mailman,
Lieutenant is the highest rank I ever made…
But because he calls me “General”
It’s a compliment duly paid!
