As A Teenager

I used to be a Marine Cadet,

I made the rank of Sargent;

I used to enjoy a hike and trek

Searching for a hostile target.

I used to practice manoeuvres

With the other cadet soldiers,

I would tell them where to be

With a position of authority.

We used to have lots of fun

Acting the part with a 303 gun,

I had lots of friendly friends

Following their military trends.

You would get taught a sensibility

Of respecting the comradery.
