Regiment Viii (For Montezuma '14) Poem by Tumisang Ramarea

Regiment Viii (For Montezuma '14)



All hail King Montezuma! All hail his frontline men!
Great warriors indeed, nine is their total number
Carefully picked by the King to be his men
The eight regiment, strong soldiers with no time for slumber,

All hail King Montezuma! All hail Ali Baba!
Drafted with confidence from the Middle East,
He kept guard of the Kingdom under darkness cover,
A brave warrior indeed, a true beast!

All hail King Montezuma! All hail the Music!
Played by the great Bennie from around Vienna,
A well-travelled man who has been to places like Munich,
He is the kingdom's spy, the satellite antenna

All hail King Montezuma! All hail Mr. Lee!
Who shoots perfectly into the basket the cannonball,
With such skill as only one from over the sea
Ensuring safety and security for all,

All hail King Montezuma! All hail Ding-Yan!
A hardworking general all the way from China,
He is the one, he is the king man!
The one who with the strength of a miner,

All hail King Montezuma! All hail the Nepali!
Standing tall, putting on his earmuffs,
Getting ready to fire the missile to protect the royal family,
He who dances to 'Timber' when the gun puffs,

All hail King Montezuma! All hail Francisco!
The captain of the eighth regiment,
Well known for his cool moves at the disco,
At the firm voice with which he expresses his sentiment,

All hail King Montezuma! All hail Mr. Canada!
For he is the Guy supplying the army with coffee,
His and only his is the best, maybe another
Time we'll find another one as good with coffee,

All hail King Montezuma! All hail Nate!
He is the real captain America! In all ways and form,
To be in the King's service is to him a matter of fate,
He will give up his ankle in defence of the kingdom,

All hail King Montezuma! All hail super man!
He is a man of integrity and honour,
He is the great European de Lucca Bren,
Guarding his post from his elevated corner,

These fine men of Regiment Eight,
Helped the kingdom through tough times,
Thus we are here to share a cake,
With them and wish them off to better times.
