Soldiers' Gossip (#1)

Did you hear the scream last night?
Did anybody not?
Four ball, on the side
She knows how to scream, all right
Well, she practices a lot
Good shot
Six ball, in the corner
So that wasn't dying, we assume
No, I think she just fell off her broom
Or they hung a mirror in the room
Of la signora!
La signora!
La signora!
Please, a little quiet!

Care to play, Captain?
No. Thank you for asking
Just a bit aloof, don't you think?
Not around the Colonel
Gentlemen, gentlemen
Never trust a man
Who doesn't drink
And he keeps a journal
Eight-ball off the nine
Maybe, though, he just prefers his books
Not as much as he prefers his looks
Which is why he thinks he's got his hooks
Into la Signora -
Gentlemen, I'll make a wager
Come the summer, he'll be Major -
I'll say!
I'll say!
I'll say!
