The families of 27th Squadron were now well established on the forum, posting regular messages and copious amounts of poetry. Whilst none of those who dabbled in this sudden literary pursuit had received any formal tuition in the art of writing verse, there were some truly fine poems out there.
Unfortunately, I am currently unable to post work other than my own because I do not have the necessary permission from the various contributors. However, I am hoping that anyone reading this, who was connected with 27th Squadron and posted poems on the forum, will get in touch with me, in the hopes that we can re-create the ‘glory days’ of 2009.
The Forum
It started with just one or two, ladies on the forum,
But quickly rose to seven or eight and then they formed a quorum,
And now there’s more that thirty (who behave with great decorum)
Those literary ladies, who post poems on the forum.
You’ve got to love those ladies, ‘cos nothing seems to floor ‘em,
Their fellahs in Afghanistan really do adore ‘em,
And when they’re in the Chat Room, no way can you ignore them,
Those lovely, loopy ladies, who frolic on the forum.
