PROMISING BLUES

Plenty, of fun and plenty of bread, Plenty of e.ating until you’re dead, Everything fine, not a cold in the head. Plenty of laughter and lots of fun, The finest training on the latest gun, And lots of time to laze in the sun, A nice little house, a nice little wife, Children appearing each year of your life, A fork for each, and a nice little knife. The great big future will be one of peace, Your finger ready on the bomb release, One little war, and then wars will cease. Everyone here shall have bread and board, There shall be nothing you can’t afford, Each man his castle and each man his lord. You shall have power and power to thrive, And each afternoon a power dive And a Turkish bath to keep you alive. The future is rosy and rosy indeed For the young who now are willing to bleed, The dead in their graves shall all be freed. O everything easy and on the spot, Everyone tried and everyone shot, And death on a tray served piping hot. BRIAN ALLWOOD. ' —“Tribune”
