jingle goes to war

america's getting all sing-y tonight,
sing-y and ringy and dingy tonight.
all prosy and poesy and hold up your nosey.
from speachy and clappy to huggy and happy.
of heroes so braving and half-masted waving
so thumping and proudly and cry in a crowdly.
from tv and talky of what a big shocky
how something so tall-y could come down so fall-y,
to faces of stubbly who dig through the rubbly.
from tell a sad story to march off to war-y
and bombs we will droppy and no we won't stoppy
till all of the terries are hung by their hairies.

it isn't revenge ... it's a destiny thing
with hands on our hearts as the Hollyhumps sing
and the naughty are caughty and locked in their pens
and buggered with justice up both of their ends.
