It
is
a long ways
from home
and we are
hot,
tired,
ready for a change-
ready for something,
anything; ready for
the
boss
to take
us home!
We want to take over
And plot our way home -
Just anything to get there.
Put the captain in the brig!
Set course for home, men!
But then what would we
do when we got there?
I don't want to hang -
Better just wait 'til
We get home.
It was a
thought.
