A MESSAGE TO SNOWFLAKES

 

Your grandparents

And great grandparents

Were asked to go to war

You are being asked

To sit on your sofas

So not exactly a chore

THE SELFISH GENERATION

 

People are loyal only to themselves

They have no sense of nation today

And put their own self-interest first

“What’s in it for me” is what they say

 

People have many heartfelt opinions

But hardly a one true conviction

When England is once more in peril

This is my sad and sorry prediction

 

There will be no mass rush to volunteer

Conscription will be met with legal scheming

They only way to get them to join up

Will be to drag them kicking and screaming

A MESSAGE TO SNOWFLAKES

Your grandparents

And great grandparents

Were asked to go to war

You are being asked

To sit on your sofas

So not exactly a chore
