Quote/Poem I'm the last one left in the Air Force.

[Matzos]

I feel like this sometimes solaf

I'm the last one left in the Air Force.
I've an office in MOD
And a copy of Queen's Regulations
Which only apply to me.
I can post myself to Leuchars
And detach me from there to Kinloss
Or send me on courses to Cranwell
Then cancel the lot - I'm the boss.

I'm the last one left in the Air Force,
But the great Parliamentary brains
Omitted, when cancelling people,
To sell off the stations and planes.
The result is my Inventory bulges
With KD and campstools and Quarters.
Plus a signed book of verses by Trenchard
Which I keep for impressing reporters.

I'm the last one left in the Air Force
I suppose you imagine it's great
To be master of all you survey
But I tell you - it's difficult, mate.
I inspected three Units last Thursday
As C-in-C (Acting) Strike.
Then I swept half the runway at Leeming
And I repaired Boulmer's best station bike.

I'm the last one left in the Air Force
And it's not doing a lot for my health.
Station Sports Days are frankly exhausting
When the Victor Ludorum's oneself.
On Guest Nights the Mess is so lonely
There are times that I wish I were able
To pass the port to the one on my left
Without watching it fall off the table.

I'm the last one left in the Air Force
And it's quiet - but that apart -
There are plenty worse off, for example,
The only Sea Lord, for a start.
She was called out last Wednesday evening
(Joint Ops with the Army my oath)
But their rowing boat sank in the Channel
Which obliged me to rescue them both.

I'm the last one left in the Air Force
And my kids say I'm never around.
When I'm not flying Hercs or a Typhoon
I'm the lone QRA on the ground.
Or I'm doing sea-survival at Plymouth,
Shooting flares at the crowds on the Hoe,
Or I'm Orderly Corporal at Linton -
It's an interesting life but all go!

I'm the last one left in the Air Force
I'm ADC to The Queen
I'm Duty Clerk at Brize Norton
I'm the RAF rugby team.
Tomorrow I'm the Queen's Colour Squadron
Then air-testing several planes
And the day after that I'm in London
To preach at St Clement Danes.

I'm the last one left in the Air Force
And I'm due to go before long
But there's been no hint of replacement
And I won't even let me sign on.
I hope to enjoy my retirement
As I've put up a fairly good show
And I won't cut myself off entirely
As there's always reunions - you know!
