Stand up straight! <br />Suck in that gut. <br />Eyes forward! <br />And you better not blink, <br />Or twitch a muscle! <br />Now repeat clearly... <br />And speak as if you want my attention! <br />Do not mumble! <br />If I detect you are... <br />You will begin again. <br />Staying put and in place until I determine I understand <br />What you want me to know! <br />Now Speak... <br /> <br />'Honey, <br />I'm glad you're home. <br />And I can tell you have served our country well! <br />But ALL I honestly want you to do, <br />Is relax. <br />These inspection routines before we have sex... <br />Has gotten a bit out of control! <br />I'm standing at attention butt naked! <br />And you look absolutely ridiculous wearing combat boots, <br />With a pith helmet and goggles! <br />Your wish to have this kind of foreplay every single night, <br />Has affected 'Mr. Johnson'! <br />And you have 'him' afraid to death to perform! <br />See...? <br />He looks like a turtle! <br />Trying like hell not to come out of his shell! <br />I'm not with this women in the military business at all! <br />And you have taken your squad leader position, <br />Far too seriously! <br />Don't you think? <br />These routines are not helping my performances at all!
