World War I Was a Mistake
World War I was a mistake
The scholar said.
Millions dead.
You mean the war so Great!
Tony, the tiger roared
and bombs so bright soared.
Germany needed a break
From England
And Frenchmen
Sure, on the economic take.
So, the Bosnian Serb
Provided the nerve
To attack, a mistake.
Austrian dead
Where’s their head?
What sense does it make?
None, as rats,
Roaches and feral cats
The trenches for the take.
Blood, guts on soaking floor
Guys’ nuts, more and more gore
Splayed in the wake
Of marching mud
Caked thud
And body parts, ain’t it great?
Modern warfare,
How about some fanfare?
Yes! WWII and bombs to make
Proving over again
That the roaches, not men
Rats, feral cats do make
Along with Garlic
Mustard, the true invader
From Europe, the
Inheritors of the
Earth.
Make no mistake.
