Conquering Your Enemy

I am about to make a request You might sooner turn down than test, For all its promise of conquest Of the hard men, who us detest And of our doomed end turned a quest: To start laughing with them the Best, Their stinking foams for our glad rest, Our way worming into each breast, In farms helping them to fight pest, From grabbing hands property wrest Each one of them: Most Honored Guest To be accordingly addressed... You mark by words like on-shirt crest: Watchers shall us praise from East and West
