Rex and Reza
Rex and Reza were buddies
who lived in Afghanistan,
which they both had to leave mighty quick
for fear of the Taliban.
Rex enjoyed special treatment
and left on the next available flight.
Reza for his part had no such luck.
What caused his miserable plight?
Let me explain to begin with.
Reza was a man, no alsacian.
he risked his all to serve the UK,
but received no help from this nation.
Rex enjoys choice morsels in the officers' mess.
He romps in fields of clover,
but for Reza, sad to say,
his troubles are far from over.
After many a danger and many a peril
he escaped to a cold French strand.
the English coast was now his goal,
but there he failed to land.
The British navy picked him up,
by which time they had passed a new law.
For all the sacrifice he made
Rwanda is opening its door
