The Dictator Must Be Obeyed

The Dictator's Orders Must Be Obeyed By Elton Camp The leader of Moronistan had a grandiose plan So his country's power all would understand He gathered his scientists to tell them what to do And that they'd die unless his ambition came true "Visiting the moon and Mars has become routine. I want us to do something that's never before seen." "Instead of going to those spots, it'd be more fun If we send a manned ship to check out the sun." The scientists looked shocked and turned pale For the dictator's scheme was certain to fail They looked at one another is greatest dismay The most distinguished one finally did say "Excellency, the sun is far away and very hot. A place for us to be going, it simply is not." The dictator thought it over for a short while Then to his face came a very broad smile His idea, though, didn't prove to be very bright "In that case, I direct you to just go at night."
