Summary: Based loosely on a Siegfried Sassoon war poem " The General "




The Commander in Chief
Showed us the way
With his able instructions
Towards the affray.

But misunderestimating
of an enemy not mine
Compounded a problem
For those on the line.

“We’re saving the world”
As bombs rained down
“From higher oil prices
and sadly not Bush the clown”
