Gulf War patriot



Yes, we need you in the Gulf, boys.
Too right we do.
You think petrol flows from gum trees?
And what about the oil heater?
It’s bloody cold here in July,
or maybe you’ve forgotten already,
sunbaking in the desert somewhere.
Think of the poor Kuwaitis.
They need democracy too.
Well, the ones who vote do, anyway.
Men, I mean.
Yes, we need you in the Gulf, boys,
but I’m glad it’s you
and not me, boys.
