Going to Spend Lives

convoy truck burning

As I was going to Iraq,
I met some coffins coming back,
For each coffin several wounded;
Each wound was so severe;
Every casualty had some family.
Dead, wounded, son, daughter,
Wives, children, to the slaughter.
All of them are coming back.
How many are going to Iraq?

William's Whimsical Words:

Iraq is a lot more dangerous than St. Ives.
