Tommy Poem by Gordon David

Tommy is a soldier in the army
Tommy thinks all the “Top Brass” are barmy
Tommy is out on patrol in Iraq
Tommy hears gun-fire, he’s under attack

“Tommy keep your head down” a voice did say
Tommy saw the “Insurgents” run away
Tommy felt a burning pain in his head
Tommy fell to the ground, and Tommy’s dead

Tommy did not wish to die in the sand
Tommy had a wife,5 kids, all unplanned
Tommy had a widow and 5 orphans
Tommy has donated all his organs


Tommy was a soldier in the army
Tommy knows all the “Top Brass” are barmy________________
