POEM: "Drones"

Drones

                        
                   "War is boring, we do it so you don't have to."
                         Anon.

Do drones drink beer at 
the consoles and fall sleep

dream of the other games 
they'd rather be good at

ticker-tape parades when 
you come back successful
spin the wheels on a Chevy
Bel Air and bounce with joy

like that pretty girl sitting
across the table looking likely
is there a drone policy for you
do some sorties get messed up
talk to me a minute about 
your training for this job.
