A Cap Gun and a G.I. Joe                     1

As moanings echo from the Rhine-             I
   and water slowly turns to wine

As snake eats mouse-
   and cat eats toad-

A cap gun and a G.L Joe

The child in blue alone will pear-
  . at atom bombs he bought at Sears
 While armored horses lightly prance-

    and Dylan does a Disco dance

 The C.LA. and Gomer Pyle
    go sailing on the bloody Nile

 as fighter pilots dive too Iow-
    A cap gun and a G.L Joe

 The holocaust is soon to swell-
    from rocket-launchers by mattell

 As soft shag carpet slowly turns-
    to jungle brush and napalm burns

  With parsites in camouflage-
     and maggot swarms- a thick barrage-

  As blood steams from-
     the Russian snow

  A cap gun and a G.L Joe.

                Phil La Padula
