The Soldier Man

The rifle and the bullet
He handles with bravura;
A quintessence of a warrior,
A mighty man of valor;
Possessing the intelligence of a hundred men.

Come hell or high waters,
He's no superman,
But still remains a soldier~
A soldier man indeed!

They splay their splashy wings!

Oh, how they revel in the sun,
Making the hunter call for his gun!
At the first gunshot-
Paaoow!
One's down for the pot!

The birds of a feather!
That flocked together!
That sang together!
