Ive been to Iraq twice and to be honest i wouldnt want a poem just loads and loads of letters

[stylinsam]

i understand that, and the last thing i wanna do is upset him, i just wanna tell him how much of a good friend he is and ithink that a poem would be the easiest way, ;-)x

[ummmm]

Can't you just do it in a letter?

Some ideas, but this might make him feel depressed;

We miss you whilst you are in Iraq,
So much so, we want you back
Christmas will not feel the same,
But we�ll raise a glass (or three) in your name,
We�ll put some turkey on a plate
And save some spuds, for you�ll they wait
A wine glass full � red or white?
Or a glass of beer, is Fosters alright?
Think of us for all of Christmas
And we will know that you are with us
Take care our friend, and all the best
Come home soon, you know the rest
We so look forward to seeing you soon*
Our soldier, Our friend, the brave (enter name).

*Alter word to rhyme with name, or perhaps put his rank instead of the brackets.

Or something cheerier�.

Hello old chum
Are you having fun?
You left us back home
To mope and moan
It�s Christmas soon
And you are not here :o(
But while you�re away
Are you allowed any beer?
If not, it�s tough, oh what a shame!
So we�ll drink your share and have champagne
We�ll celebrate and do the conga
Have some fun and spend some wonga
Write back soon and tell us your news
Hope you�re alright I�m sure you are
Missing you from afar
Now I must go, take care old chum
I�ve run out of words and me hands gone numb
And my cup of tea/bum is getting colder
So toodle-pip my little soldier
Tutty-bye my brave young hero
So long for now and cheerio
This poem must end, but I don�t know how
This is it STOP, right NOW!

I will leave the poetic licence to you Sam.

Soldier boy
Oh, my little soldier boy
I'll be true to you

You were my first love
And you'll be my last love
I will never make you blue
I'll be true to you
In the whole world
You can love but one girl
Let me be that one girl
For I'll be true to you

Wherever you go
My heart will follow
I love you so
I'll be true to you
Take my love with you
To any port or foreign shore
Darling you must feel for sure
I'll be true to you

Soldier boy
Oh, my little soldier boy
I'll be true to you

I think a poem should come from the heart of the person sending it, but here goes! Nice thought Sam.
.................................................

I really miss you miles away
And think about you every day
with tears of love and sadness too
I send my love from me to you

To let you know you're not alone
As I am thinking of you back home
So hurry back before I shed a tear
Cos its actually your tun to buy the beer
..................................................
No? Oh well, I tried.

I thought of you just last week
When Baghdad was on the telly
I got a funny feeling you know
A sadness in me belly

I thought of you just the other day
When I saw some kids having fun
In the park they were toy soldiers
With their hands just like a gun

I thought of you just yesterday
When I read a story on Iraq
It makes me miss you so much
I can�t wait to see you come back

I will think of you tomorrow
No matter what I do
Everyday, something here
Keeps reminding me of you

I will think of you all next week
But don�t worry I will smile
Because I know you will return
Perhaps just in a little while

I will think of you all next month
And when Arsenal are playing Chelsea
Up the Gunner�s you would say
And they would win 4-3

I know I�ll blooming think of you,
Throughout all of the next year
It would be sodding easier for me
If you could just be here

I thought and think and thunk of you
All the bleeding time
When are you going to write to me
And let me know you�re fine.

(all made up, honest. Verse 6 should remain unchanged)

[Octavius]

A couple more verses to plonk in above the last 2....

Thinking of you so often
Is starting to get on me nerves
I might even consider
Joining up with the Reserves

I thought of that, but it would be silly
Cos I wouldn�t have a clue
How to be a soldier
Especially one like you

[Octavius]

There was a young soldier called Hugh
Who went on a tour for the view
He saw lots of sand
And it cost him two grand
For an hour with a camel called Sue

Somebody help me stop.... please....

Everyone Says "Hi"--------David Bowie

Said you took a big trip
They said you moved away
Happened oh, so quietly
They say

Shoulda took a picture
Something I could keep
Buy a little frame
Something cheap
For you

Everyone says hi

Said you sailed a big ship
Said you sailed away
Didn't know the right thing
To say

I'd love to get a letter
Like to know what's what
Hope the weather's good
And it's not too hot
For you

Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi

Everyone says
Don't stay in a sad place
Where they don't care how you are
Everyone says hi

If the money is lousy
You can always come home
We can do the old things
We can do all the bad things
If the food gets you leery
You can always phone
We could do all the good things
We could do it, we could do it,
we could do it
Don't stay in a bad place
Where they don't care how you are

Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi
And the girl next door
And the guy upstairs
Everyone says hi
And your mum and dad
Everyone says hi
And your big fat dog
Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi
Hi hi hi hi
