I'm Not Exactly a Hot Commodity in the Civilian Sector

by Jon-Jacob F Deal

Please keep me employed--
Make war, not love!
Don't like blood on your hands?
Do what I do--wear gloves.
Oh, the fact it could kill me
Never ceases to THRRRILL me!
(And we all know that eagles
Have never bred doves.)

Author's Note: Tongue planted more firmly in cheek than a 155mm Howitzer shell rigged to a keyless entry system and buried in the Iraqi sand, baby.
