Angelle B -- Drummer Boy’s Life

I really don't like my life as a drummer boy. I really didn't want to become one, what I really wanted to do was to be a drummer in some sort of concert, you know, playing amazing classics and whatnot. I didn't know that when the private said that he wanted me to pick up some drumsticks and drum, he really wanted me to get up at the crack of dawn and wake everyone up, and at night to signal curfew. What a life!
