They say that in the army
The coffee's mighty fine
Well, it's good for cuts and bruises,
But it tastes like turpentine!
Oh, I don't want no more of army life
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home!
The chicken in the army,
They say is mighty fine,
A drum rolled off the table
And squished a pal of mine!
Oh, I don't want no more of army life!
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home!
The clothing that they give us
They say is mighty fine
Well, me and half my regiment
Can all fit into mine
Oh, I don't want no more of army life
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home!
The salary that they pay us,
They say is mighty fine
They give you thirty dollars
And take back forty-nine
Oh, I don't want no more of army life
Gee, Ma, I wanna go,
Hey, Ma I gotta go,
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
That's exactly what I feel like doing...GO HOME! It's been more than a month (and a half) now..! With two of my intended trips cancelled, (thanks to Fanoos, and a training) it'd be an understatement to claim that 'am waiting to go home..' Not that staying away from home is new to me, but just that I've gotten used to making frequent trips over the past year..(phew boy!! how time flies..!!).Plus, it's mid-December, the usual sem-end time when we migrate from colder climes to warmer ones (Pilani to Chennai, I meant). Working during what would otherwise have been a vacation is close to committing a crime..I just dont understand why we cant follow a 2-semester norm here too..!! I'd not mind taking tests/onlines/vivas/watever_be_it if it means I can take a vacation twice a year and stay at HOME!!! The worst part is, I cant even apply for leave due to 'demands of the project!' (Whose vacation is it anyway?!?!)So I've got be happy with weekend 'escapades', one of which is a mere two days away....just cant waittttt!!!
