SPARTOONS AMERICAN TOUR 1984
EDITORS BIT
Hello and welcome to the first
edition of Spartoons for 1984. This is the first edition of Spartoons since the
highly successful publication on the German trip last year. So to most of you
this magazine will be a new experience:- A bit like Dankoman having a shower, or
the Coxswain smiling on watch.
So therefore I hope you enjoy reading the dit's which some of your mates!!??
have taken the time and effort to submit for your enjoyment. Anyone can
contribute to this magazine, so keep that in mind. The run-ashore Stateside
should be good for dits........So lets have them in as soon as possible so that
Spartoons can again be published before New London.
See you all ashore...[Mine's a John Collins] Have a nice day
J Duffy Spartoons Editor 1984

AN ODE TO OLD JOHN HAGGARTS SEX LIFE (AGE NOW 62)
From 20-30 When he
was young virile and alright,
It was twice in the morning, and three times at night.
From 30-40 He was
still alright,
he missed the odd morning.
but mainly at night
From 40-50 It was just now and then
From 50-60 It was "God only knows when?"
From 60-70 If he's
still inclined,
but don't let him kid you, it's all in his mind.
His sporting days are over, his little light is out,
what used to be his sex appeal, is now his water spout.
It used to be embarrassing to make his thing behave,
For nearly every morning, it stood and watched him shave.
But now he's fuc*ing ancient, it sure gives him the blues,
To watch it hanging down his leg, and watch him shine his shoes.
Q. What's the difference between a packet of Polo's and the Coxswain??
A. People like Polo's.

JR SHOOTING AGAIN
Now back aft there is a GREENIE,
A wholesome nice young man.
Who always pulls his plonker,
As often as he can.
For those who dare to wander,
in Gobblers Gulch bunk-space.
Can often hear the Russell,
of him pulling 'like an ace'.
His stories not so happy,
as I have first made out.
But one that's full of sadness,
intrigue, danger and doubt.
It started back last winter,
with snow upon the floor.
When a thing in a dark blue raincoat,
came out from behind a door.
It's face was very haggard,
with hair upon it's chin.
The eyes were shot and baggy,
and probably kicked in.
Although the arms were covered,
It was possible to see.
That the devil in the raincoat,
couldn't 'pop a mushy pea'.
Our hero wasn't shaken,
or taken up with grief.
As he'd recognised this monster,
As his own bizarre Fleet Chief.
Unhappily dejected,
at being recognised.
The Fleet Chief took a crabby knife,
and poor Jack did circumcise.
So there you have the story,
of Jacks predicament.
So it's not cos he likes playing,
But pure embarrassment.
