&ldquo;I have wonderful memories of the Army.&rdquo;



The old man said to the youth.



&ldquo;Some of them now sound quite barmy,



But some have a basis in truth.



We had adventures in many far places,



And maybe the odd pint of ale.



We endured lots of friendly embraces,But that is the best of the tale.&rdquo;



The youth enjoyed hearing the stories,



Of the old man who sat at the bar.



He&rsquo;d heard many tales of the glories,



That the old man told sipping his jar.



Then the youth without malice suggestion,



Asked the veteran, so straight and so tall,



&ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t mind me asking the question,



Do you have no bad memories at all?&rdquo;



The question hung long for an answer,



As the old man sat thinking it through,



&ldquo;It&rsquo;s like asking a man who&rsquo;s got cancer,



What next year he is planning to do?



I treat bad memories, like most of my kind,



As a problem with no end I can see.



I put bad memories to the back of my mind,



But the bad memories just won&rsquo;t forget me.&rdquo;
