I asked the major general
to please be more specific.
"Which would you rather capture,
Atlantic or Pacific ?"
He said his plans were secret,
which made uncommon sense.
For, after all, his only goal
was national defense.
He said he had some tanks
on hold and bombers in the air.
He had no qualms on killing
those who said this wasn’t fair.
"You tainted souls on union rolls
who protest by the hour,
remember this," I heard him hiss,
"I’ve got the firepower."
