What is the remainder of this poem?
I have this first line buzzing in my head and I can't for the life of me remember the rest of it.
Can anyone help?
Here 'tis:
"By the ring around his eyeball"

"You Can Tell a Fighter Pilot."
By the ring around his eyeball
You can tell a bombardier,
And you can tell a bomber pilot
By the spread across his rear.
You can tell a navigator
By his sextants, maps and such,
You can tell a fighter pilot
But you can't tell him much!
