"You Mother Wears Combat Boots"

    WWI Prostitute

Have you ever been told,

the following insult so very old?

‘Your Mother wears Combat Boots’,

an insult considered “Old School”!

It was started years ago as a School yard joke,

if you knew the meaning you might choke!

“Ladies of the Night” in “World War One,

followed the Troops to offer Prostitution!

Battlefields were full of mud,

not to mention all the blood!

They’d often rob the Army’s dead,

remove the uniforms from feet to head!

Boots would keep them warm and dry,

no matter they came from those who died!

So when you hear:’Your Mother Wears Combat Boots’,

there really calling her a “Prostitute”!
