Podunkistan Builds Its Military
Podunkistan Builds Its Military
By Elton Camp
The country is far too poor, of course
To raise and support a military force
Its dictator is determined to have his way
“Do it anyway you can,” is what he’ll say
It’s a poorly trained army that they equip
So on their enemies they are able to slip
Hapless soldier will think he’s been had
But the generals will only say, “Too bad.”
Perhaps with such hardship a man to saddle
He says, “Without Indians chiefs can’t battle.”
And if all the others would simply do the same
So then, “They gave a war, but nobody came.”
