Patrolling In An Afghan Wonderland (2018 version)

Patrolling In An Afghan Wonderland

By Ray Daley.

27/11/2018

Sand’s too bright, it’s just glistening

Past the wire, Dickers listening,

The desert is shite, Looks crappy tonight

Patrolling in an Afghan wonderland.

Gone away, the gozome bird

Here to stay, the radar dome bird

But it feels so wrong, As we go along

Patrolling in an Afghan wonderland.

In the compound we can’t build a snowman

Pretend we’re not eating Biscuits, Brown.

Ask us if we’re worried, We’ll say no man!

Just tell us that the Op is drawing down?

Later on, We’ll conspire

To ask IS, for a ceasefire.

Will the brass stand us down, then pass beers around?

Patrolling in an Afghan wonderland.

Sleigh bells ring, Are you listening?

With AK’s; the country’s bristling

Can we please go home? Leave this place alone,

Patrolling in an Afghan wonderland.

THE END
