A Villanelle On Our Coming Victory
U.S. marines are the men of our dreams.
Helicoptered in, they're the sea on land;
A thousand of them are the top of our team.
A desert foothold, they are like cream
In our coffee, marching to angels' bands -U.S. marines are the men of our dreams.
South of Kandahar, they'll sew and seam
Bin Laden's escape like a folded fan.
A thousand of them are the top of our team.
Mullah Mohammed Omar will beam
Support like a rotted termite man.
U.S. marines are the men of our dreams
For they are going to the caves to steam
And flush to the light bin Laden
By a thousand Marines as the top of our team.
Hiding cockroaches I grind with my pen.
The terrorists'll be crushed by men;
U.S. marines are the men of our dreams -A thousand of them are the top of our team.
