take all your
overgrown infants away somewhere
and build them
a home a little place of their own
the fletcher memorial
home for incurable
tyrants and kings
and they can
appear to themselves every day
on closed circuit
t.v.
to make sure they're
still real
it's the only connection
they feel
"ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome reagan and haig
mr. begin and friend
mrs. thatcher and paisley
mr. brezhnev and
party
the ghost of mccarthy
the memories of
nixon
and now adding colour
a group of anonymous latin
american meat packing
glitterati"
did they expect us to treat them with any respect
they can polish
their medals and sharpen their
smiles, and amuse
themselves playing games for a while
boom boom, bang
bang, lie down you're dead
safe in the permanent
gaze of a cold glass eye
with their favourite
toys
they'll be good
girls and boys
in the fletcher
memorial home for colonial
wasters of life
and limb
is everyone in?
are you having a
nice time?
now the final solution
can be applied
