Ronald Lee Ermey

Ronald Lee Ermey.

Emporia, Kansas in nineteen forty four
he may have given that bawling roar.
Joined the Marines at seventeen
his film career unforeseen.

San Diego a drill instructor
teaching military haute couture.
Fourteen months in Viet Nam
tours of duty in Okinawa, Japan.

Discharged in seventy two, injury,
exactly what, remains a mystery.
Manila, Philippines his talents noticed
added to Stanley Kubrick's short list.

In Ford Coppola's, Apocalypse Now
an air cavalry pilot, and how!
Full Metal Jacket, Kubrick directs
Ermey gets the film world's respects.
