A MILITARY MAN

.

A military man,

Generally full with feelings of a general,

A bloated spirit, if spirit is the word,

Filled with emotions of a little sergeant,

Perhaps, the passions of a corporal,

Bursting with orders, ready to command.

.

The vast barracks of a shopper’s Paradise,

Napoleon of the couch division,

Endless furniture on show,

Divans disciplined in military rows,

Roman cohorts,

Awaiting orders from their client.

.

His camouflage shirt and shorts as Pantzer.

The enemy, invisible, is everywhere.

He instructs the silent settees to defend him.
