The L. T. was green, And equally mean, Full of swagger and bluster, And all the authority he could muster. Bold in command, This brash little man, Who strode all around Like he owned the **** ground-- Barking orders and spittle, Never regarding how little Regard in which he was held. It was the midnight shift, And L. T. in a tiff, Cause his coffee had run out. The L. T. with a shout, Demanded a fresh *** be made-- No matter if the deployment was delayed. In stepped the Sergeant broad and tall, Striding to the Lieutenant who suddenly seemed small. “The troops have a duty to move this line. Your coffee can wait--this ain’t the time. And never raise your voice to one of mine.” The Sergeant stared a moment then turned on a dime, And made himself a cup of joe taking his sweet *** time
