Truth to tell,it happened in Nicaragua
during the rule of El Prsidente Samoza
the mighty martial leadersrndered a tender
for caps, uniforms and boots.
The order for the supply went to a contractor
who had quotedthe lowest cost
even an idiot kknows
this the rule.
After the piles of caps, uniforms, boots
were supplied everyone saw-
all of them were far too large
one cap could cover the seven heads
would covr the whole face, coming down the shoulders;
even after three healthy recruits
get into a uniform
there is still room for more
the boots are so large that
it is hard to walk in them
let alone do the drills.
The poor contractor was not to blame
he is always looking for a profts
clothes and leather
the less he spends on these the more he profits
but the military rulers, seeing
the turn of events
were truly pissed off
like a b urning hot sstengun.
So again a tender
a new c ontrac tor
how strange this time too
the rpition of the same.
Caps, uniforms and boots
are way to large
while the contrac tortriedhis best
to supply the items as per measurements
so as to cover his own ass.
Thundering like cannonades
the warlords kocked oout the c ontractor
unc eremoniously from the barracks.
Again a new tender
again a new contracto
and amazingly
again the repition
of the same
again and again
the mighty Generals at their wits end.
