An Advertisement For War

Bathroom blues confusing thee?
Art thou soft in stools and gums?
Thy horse has joined the Navy,
Shout “JOEY!!!”: nobody comes.

I grabbed a blowlamp, seized my axe
And gave my herds a gashing,
Took off my belt and both my boots
My dog deserved his thrashing.

And when I reached the forest wild,
I gave vent to my fury,
Roaring like an angry bear
And stinking like a brewery.

“JOEY, JOEY! Where art thou, boy?”
I called my horse in vain.
Where’re he be, let him trot by,
But the world shall feel my pain.
