Polemic

Vets

Neuter cats and dogs;
veterans of foreign wars
have one club to join, VFW,

While ex-servicemen may
join the Americn Legion,
where the talk is of how mighty

They’ll be in the face of tyranny
in all its forms, even if the tyrant rides
a gilt escalator straight from hell.

– Dave Read
