Will You Come And Join My Army? Poem by Denys E. W. Jones

Will You Come And Join My Army?



Will you come and join my Army in Ukraine?
I can promise you there's loads-o'-loot to gain.
You might get your bonce blown off,
Or a bullet through your cock,
But apart from that you won't feel too much pain!

"Oh I say, those words are pretty crude and tough.
It's not every day you hear or read such stuff! "
Well, this war is no pic-nic,
And it sure ain't no school trip,
C'est "Mors tua, vita mea...,
Guerre, mon pote!

So, come take the Putin Rouble,
Chop chop, quick!
If you cop a wound, you'll be declared unfit.
Lose your lamps, and you'll be blind,
Or your lugs and you'll be deaf,
But at least you won't be dead, so don't you mind!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Twenty-Seven plus months of war in Ukraine now, and my fourth poem on the subject, I believe. The speaker here, if it is not clear, is Vladimir Putin. This can be sung to the tune Covered Wagon/Abyssinia, like several other of my recent poems.
