Yet another shifting is due!

All through the year
you must live far apart
from family and friends
is the forces dictat.

on your annual leave
once a year you get time
to meet up with uncles and aunts
and drink Sula wine.

there too the powers that be
make sure that you don’t relax
a posting order follows me
my short freedom to tax.

there goes all my peace
return to base i must
and get out my trunks
free them from dust

Very nicely done. This sounds more like a military position?

It is rather military. We are shifting to a new base
