The War In 2004

The general always carries
a 40*
How about that
The general always
carries a 40
But he always makes
it back
and although he hates
them,
he always  wears
a hat
and an angel
above that
of course he
loves the
angel
and curses
at the 
hat
Strange to say
the general
always carries
a 40
yet he always
makes it
back
