Veterans, Once More Into the Breach
VETERANS, ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH!
Onward, elderly soldiers,
against Covid19 waging war,
with the trump of victory
taking all before.
We don't want to lose you,
but we think you ought to go.
The virtue of self-sacrifice
to us survivors show!
In other ages heroes fought
and gave their very best
in the cause of liberty,
not for the best way to invest.
Then Grandpa to the trenches!
Then Grandma to the front!
You'll be mentioned in dispatches
for taking the full brunt.
