Poppy Sellers

2 Old Veteran Soldiers 

Raising money selling poppies 

In our Local Hospital Foyer 

I Salute you fine Sir's 

Still Serving in Service after the Fact

You have my total and utter unabridged admiration 

Such a shame you have to collect at all though

Surely its the current Government of the Day

And our Taxes that should provide for you 

Given the ultimate Price you were willing and asked to Pay

Its a sad day indeed and indictment on modern Society 

If we fail to pay our debt to you

God Bless you All

Especially the Fallen
