Give Them a Chance To Join a Team With a Future

Parents if you want your children to live to learn, With a chance to earn, You may need to be a little stern, And get then in a team where they won't learn, To let others burn, And a life behind bars they can only expect to earn, Before 21 they turn, If into dust they don't make an early return. To a team they all turn, Regardless of how much you earn, Or what for them you yearn, So put them in a team to show them how to have fun, Without a gun, An early run, Will give them a better return, So don't wait too long to be stern. Others fought honourably with a gun, So they can 21 turn, Under a peaceful sun With no thought of a gun, Except when with rabbits we are overrun. And if war should ever return, Before you have had a chance to be even a little stern, What chance will there be for their return, If they never had an early run, In a team without a gun.
