To Sylvia, my one true love
You keep me strong, and also make me sore
You protect me and I protect you
Without you, I am nothing
Without me, you are nothing
Although sometimes I like to press your buttons
It's only because I can't wait to see what I will find next
I saw inside of you late one night and things were never the same again
We slept together, and held eachother
I looked through your eyes, and I saw right through you
But through your eyes is also a reflection of mine
So you can see through me too
Your sleek, beautiful and you definitely accessorize
I can't wait until I oil you up, after all I do grab your butt a lot
I hold you up, just to feel the joy and pain of being one with you
The poem is about a C7A1 rifle.
Something a friend of mine wrote that I thought was very funny because I thought it was about a girl when I first read it.

Actually.....there are several "buttons", if a button constitutes you press it down and something happens, then a magazine eject "button" would count.

please show me the part in the training pamphlet that states these as "buttons"
the item you described would be known as the Magazine release "catch",and not button mate ;) and seeing as it was written by a soldier he should be well familiar with the names and parts of the weapon ;)

There once was a babbling moron named ducimus.
He never would shut his pie hole.

Triggers maturity level never ceases to amaze me. Only a few steps backwards before this guy recesses into the primordial ooze of evolution.

Look, I respect soldiers; I am one for Christ sake. I don’t respect that Bush is sending them to their deaths.
Heres my f*** ing opinion

You may just be trying to get a rise out of me, and that's fair enough, but I'm not sure you understand the point of the poem, which is trying to fool the reader into thinking the subject of the poem is a woman and not actually a rifle, if EXACT technical terms were used it wouldn't be fulfilling that objective. At least that's how it was explained to me and I supported that logic.

Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfried (?) Owen, Rupert Brooke, Joyce Kilmer...
Very moving pieces about the Great War. ANyone familiar with them?
We had some of Owen's work... wasn't he from that line 'the *** rifles rapid rattle'?
edit: stuttering it was I believe; 'the stuttering rifles rapid rattle'... something like that. Might have been some other WW1 poet, but I'm fairly sure it was Owen.
