The enemy who fires first is always the enemy within...
IF ever I had a country : L - LI
L
IF ever I had even in my dreams a country
And if ever I dreamt I were the Minister of Defence
I'd order every single soldier airman sailor or M.P. not to take offence
At the guns cannons missiles rockets depth-charges torpedoes or crackers across the fence
Aimed at US by other soldiers airmen sailors and M.P.s unaware of comeuppance
Lest the word get around in our background I was talking nonsense
That is, if ever I dreamt I were the Minister of Defence
And even if I never ever had in my dreams no imaginary country
LI
IF ever I had even in my dreams a country
And if ever I dreamt I were the Defence Secretary
I'd make it an impardonable offence for every soldier airman sailor or M.P. I embody
To think that right across the fence every soldier airman sailor or M.P. was not my enemy
And I'd fire every last soldier airman sailor or M.P. on or off-duty
Who did not fire his machine-gun cannon missile rocket torpedo at every Tom Dick or Harry
That is, if ever I dreamt I were the Defence Secretary
And even if I never ever had even in my dreams no country
Very well put, Ron. Trust you to make the intelligent and just right remark (barring that one I pointed out) over some complex issues "text-ed" in the least obvious manner. The same goes for the observation on my Unquotable Quotes XXXI. I keep wondering how you find the time and inclination to go foraging all around to say the thing or two to make fellow-poets sit-up and react somewhat astounded. Me, it takes me time to think things over. Right now I'm still thinking about Sandie Angel's henpecked husband: the style, the tongue-in-cheek, the almost conniving tone of commiseration and déjŕ vu. Guess I have to go to her table and see what and how she serves the entre-mets... Meanwhile, here's thanking you profusely again for your kind remarks.
Every good wish.
