At Camp Ipperwash
When I was 18 and virginal
I worked in an Army kitchen,
part of an army of civvy support
that underpinned Camp Ipperwash.
We had a walk-in cold room for food,
and I had gone in for something or other,
when after me came two mature women, 19 and 27.
They were laughing and quite convinced
a creature like me should be wrestled.
I battled back mightily, mighty mightily,
not to be overpowered by females,
and in a pyrrhic way, I won,
But something about that form of flesh
gave them the victory, over All.Â
