Vee Bdosa Poet Lyric

The Coming General Tso Invasion

THE COMING GENERAL TSO INVASION
They'll drop in from the sky one day,
and off of every sea,
so many we will pause and say
"how many can there be?"
An army that's conscripted from
a population boom,
and though we knew it had to come,
we hoped they had more room.

They're building airplanes by the score
and ships both day and night,
they'll fill them with the scent of war,
and multitudes of might,
and they will not be turning back
the numbers are all planned,
from out of China there's no lack
of needing much more land.

We'll throw them one more crumb or two,
and hope it meets their need,
but politicians know it's true,
it's only from our greed,
from Asia Minor to the heart
of Africa they come
demanding this to be the start
of their millennium.
