Poem - Boy Soldiers

Boy Soldiers

Mountfield 9th July 2001


The brits brought to heel
dogs sniffing around the checkpoint
easily flanked
roads to turn off on the approach
a tactical dead-end 
a silly place easily dodged 
amusing
all that's missing is short trousers
or a few done up like guerrillas
where to find them 
no more injury time
the new game ongoing
