And the Lord spoke forth unto the heavens
and said, "Let there be Airborne."
The earth did tremble and quake
and the waters did rise up
and the clouds did part
and there came forth
a multitude of parachutes that filled the sky.
God looked down and saw this was good.
And they were good; they were AIRBORNE.
Then God spoke forth a second time,
unto the sky, the earth, and the sea, and said:
"Let there be Airborne Sappers."
Lightning did flash and echo across the sky.
Mountains spewed molten rock
and rained fire upon the land.
Tidal waves surged against the shore.
Despair, disorder and turmoil did prevail.
Forthwith, there did appear
a band of extraordinary men.
A few came from beneath the waves;
others jumped from the sky;
and more still stalked silently from the dense forests.
Each one was in camouflage battle dress,
wearing a Red Beret.
Working together, they brought peace unto the land.
God looked down and saw that this was amazing.
And they were amazing;
they were AIRBORNE SAPPERS.
God now spoke forth again and commanded:
"Let all ye that be weak in mind and body,
arise and go forth."
And lo, from the abyss
they crawled forward with indecision
and limped weakly upon the earth.
God looked down and shook His head,
for this was pathetic.
And they were pathetic; they were CRAP HATS!
