Mach(ism)o man!



left... left....left....right left...

I:
keep posture despite the moisture
remain bold, despite wind or cold
am upright and ready to fight
at attention, throught day and night
workforce caliber heavy and light
do what is ordered, do what is right
no tool, but can be made sharp
no fool when it comes to the chart
first one in, last one out,
responsible, tactful and proud
initiative driven with a spout out loud...
the one to lead the crowd...
no doubt, that's what I'm about....

abah-oot face.....haaand saluute!
