STAYING IN BED FOR PEACE
I'll "stay in bed for peace":
my tensions I'll release
in acts of making love
to my beautiful Dove.
I'm not going to war
for White House warrior
who didn't get to 'Nam
when called by Uncle Sam.
They who have most treasures
no doubt keep their pleasures:
I"m richer than I need
in arms of my bed steed.
We're trying to 'get caught',
knowing that life's too short -
and will be shorter still
if I'm sent to the kill.
We want to get it on,
not join Armageddon;
we'll get affirming life,
me and my wedded wife.
I say to Orange Face
"How else can you replace
people you're proud to lead
when war their ranks will bleed?"
