Sonia, 78, received a letter from The US Marines, asking her to join their elite group. They promised to push her to her mental and physical limits! She is going to take her walker down to the recruiting office and offer anyway...

Someone will post a link to the full story, I suppose...

I think that this just NEEDS a folk song - I had thought a title of "The Zimmer Brigade", or "The Right Stuff"...

Robin

P.S. - don't say that they are getting desperate for recruits...

I'm a seventy eight year old lady,
They asked me to become a marine.
I won't tell you what I shouted,
Because it was rather obscene.
We're all marines together,
Our pubics hang down to our knees.
Yes we're all marines together,
We're never too old if you please.

They posted me to Iraq you know,
Thinking I would not survive.
But here I am at seventy eight,
Typing and still much alive.
We're all marines together,
Our pubics hang down to our knees.
Yes we're all marines together,
We're nevewr too old if you please.

I have the greatest respect for the USMC, therefore this is in fun only, no disrespect intended.

Sunfg to: The Halls Of Montezuma

The USGMC (United States Geriatric marines)


From the Halls of the retirement home
To the bus she can barely see
Sonia will fight our country's battles
In the air on land and sea.
First to fight for depends and freedom
And to keep our false teeth clean;
She will be proud to bear the title
Of United States Geriatric Marine.
        
Her bag's are packed for all her needs
From dawn to setting sun;
She has shopped in every store and mall
to find a suitable gun.
In the streets of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find her always on the job --
Sonia the United States Geriatric Marine.

Here's Ben gay for you and to our Corps
Which she will be proud to serve;
In many a strife she fought for life
And never lost her nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Geriatric Marines.

sing along to the tune of:

Has anybody seen my Gal


Sonia our US Marine
--------------------

5 foot 2, eyes of blue,
seems you never know what you can do
meet Sonia, our oldest Marine

She has a walker, military design
and an automatic rifle she thinks is divine
Sonia our US Marine
-------
They used stop at 27
but because of the war
they' re recruiting everyone
I hear the next one is 104!
-------
Sonia's proud to do her duty
in her fatigues she's a beauty
Sonia our US Marine

She's 78 and she has a gun
her eyesights poor but she's having fun
Sonia our US Marine
-------
Sonia's knows about War you see,
been through World War II
that means she has experience
what's a young recruiter to do!
-------
You have to clap your hands and say
Look out bin laden Sonia's on her way
A real mean US Marine

exit lines
You gotta love that

She is a US Marine

she's slow but deadly

Sonia.............. our US Marine

:)

Just the chorus for a start:

KIDDIES, DON'T LET YOUR GRANNIES SIGN UP TO BE JARHEADS

Kiddies, don't let your grammas sign up to be jarheads!
Don't let 'em play Rambo and drive them old hum vees.
Let em knit sweaters, and bake and stay comfy.
Kiddies, don't let your grammas sign up to be jarheads!
They're way underweight and they'll never shoot straight,
'Specially on days when they're grumpy.
