Life After the War
Spread your cherries
be brave; when a man
calls you:
Do the right thing (but have your
Loaded 45 to hand)
Check first his credit;
Does he have lightship
Standing?
Is he a trader?…do terms
Apply?
As an inter-stellar prostitiute
Working for peace, you know
You will be protected
Do the right thing:
What else is there?
Let’s face it; you come
With the apartment.
Dulce est decorum est
(With apologies to Wilfred Owen)
