War Reimaged

War Reimaged

Hi Frankie Is that you old boy? Winnie here

We’ve got a little problem so it would appear

Adolf has sort of flipped and the threat will not disappear

He’s taken Poland and France We’re next that’s clear

I’m sorry Winnie but we rally can’t interfere

We’ve decided to remain neutral you will appreciate

But if you really need help we cannot set a date

We really want to help but I cannot deviate

My secretary’s calling Sorry I can’t be late

Listen Frankie they are dropping bombs on our cities

We haven’t time for meetings and committees

We need more than ditties full of pities

So I’m asking for guns and ammunition

Just a little help to strengthen our position

The killing of civilians might help you reach a decision

Winnie old chap I can suggest a compromise

We have some ancient artillery you might improvise

And if Hitler really does land on your shore

We’ll review the situation and send you more

Frankie we’ve winning and now need to liberate

The countries Adolf still occupies and must not hesitate

Long range bombers would certainly facilitate

We can drive the enemy back to the Brandenburg gate

Whoah! Winnie that really is a step too far

To invade the soil of the fuhrer would be bizarre

You must stop at the border and negotiate

Let Adolf continue as leader and his fate

Is for the German people to debate

Now the farce described has become reality

A pretence the evil one sees as neutrality

A lack of action so plain for all to see

Token gestures from far across the sea

Our schools and hospitals are being destroyed

The help we really need you seem to avoid

A generation lost then who will fill the void

The enemy is at the gate and evil is deployed
