Only I will remain
Stupid
Sir my mistake sir
I am but a plebe, a fledgeling, a good for nothing
With not in my head but vacuum
And nothing to do but trip, fall and perpetrate infinitesimal mistakes
I admit that I am wrong
In the dark outstanding
But most of all, I am stupid sir
Loyalty
If you work for a man Then in heaven's sake work for him Speak well of him And stand by the institution which he represents Remember that an ounce of loyalty Is worth a pound of cleverness If you must growl, condemn And eternally find fault Why not resign from your position And when you are outside Damn to your heart's content But as long as you are part of the institution Do not condemn it If you do so Then the first high wind which comes along Will blow you away And you will probably never know why
Espirit de Corps
Espirit de Corps Is that inborn sentiment Of courage, of loyalty And of duty Because of our pride In our country, in our units And in ourselves
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong as sometimes they will
When the road your trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
When you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must but don’t you quit
Life is queer with its twist and turns
As many of us sometimes learn
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won, had he stuck it out
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow
Often the goal is nearer than
What it seems to a faint and faltering man
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have won the victor’s cup
And he learned too late when the light came down
How close he was to the golden crown
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be nearer when it seems far
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit
