Target
It started off at two per cent
And now they want a little more.
Up to five is being mentioned,
Though somewhat less for the US;
It’s probably well-intentioned,
But, why? Nobody is quite sure.
To fight the wars that we deserve,
We’ll have to stump up lots more cash.
Mass destruction won’t come cheap:
As coffers fill to foot the bill;
The troops are massed like frightened sheep
By generals, red-faced and brash.
We’re stocking up on lethal arms,
To send men trembling into hell,
For the sake of gender balance -
A clever stunt to pack the front -
We’ll pick women with the talents
To go and get shot dead as well.
