the Raiding Party


It was Captain William Hunter who had led the squad to slaughter
For the squad was not yet ready for the task ahead of them
They were green as sprouting saplings in a forest dark and eerie
And the Captain saw no danger and he led the bastards in

They snuck up behind the hillside in the cover of the bushes
And they saw the deed for doing in the valley just below
Captain Hunter briefed them swiftly and he turned toward the danger
As the squad in mocking dumbness stood there stiffly in a row

He upped his arms for battle and prepared to raid the valley
As the occupants below were busy setting things in place
And with gallant boldness daring he snuck off among the grasses
With his battle helmet dangling and with lust upon his face

And with Captain William Hunter in the point and quite fanatic
The squad had formed a column and had followed on behind
As the occupants below went about their routine duty
With their backs toward the hillside, they were easy prey and blind

Once upon the flatland, they had charged with mass dispersion
And commenced to raid the party who had now come to alert
And with weapons near and handy they stood tall to face the raiders
And replied with death most instant from the cans that they did squirt

So Captain William Hunter and his squad of new green raiders
Were exterminated swiftly from the valley evermore
For no ant has yet been able to find defense protective
To beat the can of pest spray that the human party bore

    This is a piece of magic. I was so taken in until right at the last line of the second last verse, then I twigged that all was not as I thought. A masterpiece, dear poet.
    Congratulations are in order.
