So is this lifestyle all you expected?
Since apparently it isn’t a place you get elected.
Did you think it would be all fun and games?
Trying to remember all the faces with the names?
Did you think it would all just come so easy?
With an overwhelming urge to please me.
So don't think your the big man round town
cuz someone's gonna come out to knock you down.
Someone you know, maybe not
odds are it'll all be in one shot.
So don't be all hot tempered at the meek
for it might be passiveness they seek.
So you might spark a fire you don't see coming
and you'll end up on the street bumming..
So Bend over, here it comes again!
Since in the service, they only promote from within..

Author's Note: A friend of mine, back in the day told me about a phrase in the navy, when a high ranking officer came on deck.. they would shout BOHICA! for Bend over here it comes again... cuz everyone was proabbly getting screwed...kinda stuck..and the inspiration for this poem..
